A free day in Valdez. We spend it fueling for tomorrow’s long
drive, buying smoked salmon as gifts, exploring the empty area of
pre-earthquake Valdez, eating Mexican food for lunch, visiting the excellent town
museum, and looking at salmon.
At a drivers meeting we learn that that
Nick and Alicia decided in JJ’s words that caravaning is not for them and have
left the caravan. We are sorry to see them give it up.
That evening Jane invites the NorCal Eight for stew and conversation, and we wonder if we are one of the "cliques" that
reportedly made Nick & Alicia feel unwelcome. As we understand it, they had never been to a WBCCI event, knew nobody, and had no experiencing caravanning. They bit off a lot for a WBCCI
introduction, as this caravan is one of the most grueling. We wish them well and hope to see them again.
