After a quiet night at a lakeside campground (well, the lake was apparently a swamp in someone’s back garden), where the only entertainment was to play gin rummy, we headed up the Glen Highway to Matanuska Glacier, where we were able to walk on the toe of the glacier, and enjoyed some more amazing weather… it was all going so well… and then, disaster struck, as my estimation of the RV’s offroad skills far exceeded reality… and so ensued several hours of digging, using only a tyre iron and rocks (and bare hands), before we were pulled to freedom by the nice lady with a massive 4×4… It was an adventure all right!
Alongside the Richardson Highway 
The pipeline 
Views all round 
A fantastic lake coming out of the big freeze 
Mt Wrangell, an active volcano 
Playing gin rummy… if only we had had gin!
Matanuska Glacier 
Glacial lake
Frantically digging 
And a bit more digging 
Ah, the relief when help arrived 
Free at last! Just checking for damage but none visible, so all good!
