July 29, Decided to stay another day at Kenny Lake, Ken wanted to grease the hitch and check tire pressure on truck and trailer. We started a fire, since the ban on fires have been lifted, I got the elk meat out that we bought earlier at a meat store, thawed it out in the microwave and made two burgers out of it and cooked it over the fire, Ken didn’t care for it, but I did. We then just sat around the fire enjoying it since this is only the first one we had on our trip, Ken forgot his maul, so we just got really fine timbers and got it started. It had started raining around 6-6:30 and had to go inside, made some salmon soup for dinner and grilled cheese sandwiches.
July 30, Pulled out of the campground this morning about 9:30 am, traveling west on the Edgerton Highway, for only about 7 miles. Turning north on Richardson Highway, pulled off at a large, paved turnout and saw a great view of the Wrangell-St. Elias Mountains, it was clear this morning when we left and it stayed clear enough for us to see the mountain range. After we left we could still see the mountains but you could see that the clouds where starting to cover them up. We then turned east onto the Tok Cutoff, this road was very rough with construction for a long while, after we where through the construction the road still wasn’t that great with frost heaves. We decided to stop for the night at a roadside pull off, the guy at the Tok Sourdough Campground told us about this place when we where there after arriving in Alaska, he says if you want to see moose this is the spot, it’s very cloudy now and looks like rain again, had rain earlier while traveling today. We didn’t see any moose, just a duck in the water
