The Immediate Care Facility opens at 10:00 AM. Linda leaves another message which we know is useless, so we drive back there. They send the prescription to a Costco just down the road. So by the time we get an oil change at Jiffy Lube and Gas at Costco, the prescription is ready to pick up.
Linda is feeling somewhat better with the over the counter stuff she has taken so we decide to head towards Valdez. We are having a nice warm sunny day, we seem to be getting about one a week. Valdez has a couple immediate care facilities, in case Linda does not improve. After Valdez it could be quite a few days before we would have access to immediate care.
We have a nice sunny drive up the Glenn highway and we make lots of stops to take in the views. Just before we stop a mother moose and her calf cross the road in front of us.

A little later when we stop at GrandView campground and restaurant I spy 5 Dall sheep high up on the mountains across the road.

Even though we are out in the boonies they have a pretty good restaurant here and we have a pizza for dinner and rhubarb-strawberry pie for dessert. Rhubarb must grow well in the land of the midnight sun since it seems to be the most popular dessert here. The woman running the restaurant and office is of Asian descent and English is obviously not her first language. She is just such an engaging person we don’t let lack of understanding get in the way. I remember a line from one of our French-Canadian boating friends at a North Carolina restaurant talking to the owner who had a very thick southern accent. “I don’t understand a word you are saying, but I love your accent”
