More Fly-In Photos From Valdez, Alaska


































































































































































































































































































































































This is a three day event sponsored by the Valdez Pilots Association. No charge for entry. Plenty of food vendors and other goodies for sale. Activities for the kids. Airplane rides for a small fee. Bring warm clothes as it can be cool this time of the year. It was 38 degrees on Sunday morning. We stayed in a spacious cabin at the Totem Inn. It had a full kitchen, cable TV, and shower for $129. Dinner Saturday night was at the Halibut House. I had the halibut basket, salad bar, and drink. Angel had the scallop basket and salad bar. The bill was $33. Not too bad for fresh seafood. The Halibut House is not a fancy place...order and pickup at the counter. It's clean and the food is excellent. Other things to do in Valdez....fish for halibut and salmon....camp seaside or in the Valdez City Glacier Campground...visit the pipeline terminus.....tour Prince William Sound...take the ferry to Whittier....visit and hike Thompson Pass area...explore glaciers. Just click on any photo in the blog to view full size.
