16 miles west of Glennallen, AK to 71 miles west of Glennallen, AK (Hwy1)
55 miles

Glaciers are filling the scenery along the ice fields. So big are the
glaciers, I can easily see the flow 10 miles away. Mountains behind the
glaciers are completely covered by snow. Unreal!

Anticipation of arriving at our destination is killing me. I just have
to remind myself that we still have a substantial ride left. I am
trying to soak in the amazing landscape as much as possible. This is an
incredible way to finish our bicycling journey.

Luck was on our side today for lunch. We made it to a restaurant just as
they were finishing up serving lunch to a tour group. When we walked
in the cook who was the only one working and was too busy to serve us.
She was shutting down in 5 minutes. I suppose she felt a little bad
for letting us go hungry so she said to help yourself to the sandwich
and soup bar as much as you want at no charge. Naturally, we loaded up
and had a delicious lunch on the deck overlooking a creek. She had a bad
back so we helped her bus the tables. Both parties walked away happy.

Timing is everything in life
