\"\"<\/a>We arrived at Mt. View RV after a few long hours on the \"\"<\/a>road. It looked like a big grass field with a few dirt roads between the rows, and it was. They don’t even mow the weeds. They were about a foot tall. And the weeds were hiding very out-of-level sites to boot.\u00a0 I started thinking about why we didn’t go the few extra miles to Big Bear RV Park.\u00a0 It is a much nicer place than this.<\/p>\n

Kathy took a trip to the Musk Ox farm and also a short excursion to the Reindeer farm.\u00a0 I went over to Wasilla Home Depot and got a new bug killer racket from Black Flag,\u00a0 and what a bug killer.\u00a0 \u00a0It turned out to be one of the \"\"<\/a>most powerful devices I have ever used!!\u00a0 Bug Zapper Racket<\/a>\u00a0 While I was looking for bug killers, an Alaska State Trooper walked up and apparently was looking for similar equipment.\u00a0 I had to ask him about the accident the day before on the Glenn Highway.\u00a0 He said it was a single-car fatality.\u00a0 I mentioned I had that truck on my dashcam footage where he passed me going at least 80 mph on a bad section of road.\u00a0 He asked for my cell number and said he would pass it on to the investigating officer, that they may want to add that to the file for some perspective on the case.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s been a couple weeks and no call, so I am guessing they didn’t need it to close the case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We topped off our fuel again at Palmer,\u00a0 because at that moment they had the cheapest fuel in Alaska.\u00a0 Not sure why. But I even got to use my Chevron Rewards app to save an extra $25 off the price.\u00a0 After we filled up, we headed for Williwaw Campground a couple hours away.<\/p>\n
