We got on the road around 8am, uneventful night, meaning no animal spotting. We decided to stop in Copper Center Loop for breakfast. The Copper Center Roadhouse is famous for their sourdough pancakes and that sounded good to us. We got into town and couldn’t find the place, we saw yellow tape hung around and I made the comment of a crime scene tape and we laughed. We drove into an RV place and asked where the Copper Roadhouse was and they said it had burned down, so that really was crime scene tape. There was a little building across the way and that’s where the owner had her sewing shop and turned it into a small restaurant until they could rebuild and reopen. She said they believe the fire was caused by electrical. Anyway, the sourdough pancakes were great, expensive but very good. Once we got back on the road again, I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. That never happens to me, I would swear there was something in those pancakes. I didn’t really wake up until we got to Bridal Falls, that was amazing to see, got lots of pictures.
We got to Valdez, we were going to dry camp but the road was so bad to try and get level on that we said forget it, we ended going to Bear Paw RV Park. Much nicer having full hookup and TV. Beautiful weather, shorts and tank top, they have a mother bear here with 4 cubs, very unusual to have so many babies. They have a big flashing sign out saying “Do not approach the bear, stay in your vehicle and take pictures that way. The news paper shows mama walking across the street with 1 baby in her mouth and the others following her, too cute. Would really love to see it but probably won’t get too.
We walked around town and went and shared some fish and chips. Very nice little place, plan on doing more touring around tomorrow. Hope the weather will stay good while we are here.
