We arrived home this evening from our 4th of July McCarthy trip. We (Jer, myself, Jenn, Geoff, Tony) started in Anchorage on Wednesday night and drove to meet John and Barb in Glennallen where we stayed one night. The next day we all drove to McCarthy/Kennecott. We celebrated the 4th of July in McCarthy where we watched a parade (if you could call it that!), then took a shuttle up to the old Kennecott mine. The boys all biked up another 3/4 mile to the glacier. After two nights in McCarthy, we drove to Valdez, stayed a night and then took the ferry this afternoon back to Whittier. It was a good trip, although it's good to be home and in our own bed! The road to McCarthy from the Glennallen highway was only 60 miles, but it was all dirt road, so it took us about 3.5 hours each way, which between the speed and the bumping around, it was quite exhausting. The drive from Glennallen to Valdez was my favorite part. Reminded me a lot of northern Idaho. Here are some highlights!
