Valdez to Kenny Lake, AK

We departed Valdez on Sunday morning headed north about 115 miles to the Edgerton Highway and the small town of Kenny Lake.  Before we depart we visit a fish hatchery on the opposite side of the Sound passing the infamous docks where the Exxon Valdez ran aground spilling 53 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound.  The razor-wire fences and ominous warnings by the FBI do not make sightseeing here a welcome act.

Travel is quite normal as we climb out of Valdez upward some 2,500 feet in elevation and break out into beautiful sunshire (something we have not seen since arriving in Valdez).  We settle at the Kenny Lake Mercantile and RV Park for a quiet evening.
