Kings Mountain State Recreation Area

Thursday: (08/25) Pancakes and ham for breakfast.

Valdez Alaska
It rained all night ant continued this morning as we hooked up and did tank duty. We headed off toward Anchorage. The waterfalls were looking good as we passed them. As started up Thompson pass our rain ended. We noticed that the trees had turned noticable more yellow. Trees that had a trace of yellow on the way to Valdez were now fully yellow. Another week and it may be great fall color viewing on some of the roads. We stopped in Glenallen for gas and lunch. Lou prepared hamburger tortolinni soup.

Kings Mountain campground Mantanuska Glacier
We continued on down the road to King Mountain SRA Campground for the night. Along the way we stopped to see the Mantanuska Glacier again.

On a walk around camp we saw the biggest mushroom we've ever seen. Lou looked it up and we think it is a Golden False Pholiota mushroom that was 12"+ in diameter. We don't eat wild mushrooms, especially if we are the ones identifying them, but it looked good. Dinner was leftovers.
