Bow Tie Tour

We got up and it was still cloudy but the rain had sort of left us.  As we were packing to leave we learned that the bridge we had crossed the previous day had washed out over night as well as the nearby railroad.  We were also informed that the bridge to the south of us was declared unstable.
As there is only one road we headed out and the police let us cross single file in the middle of the bridge.

Driving by the next town (where we probably would have stopped had we pressed on) we saw the effects of the flooding. The entire town was covered in water with only the road above the water line. It was crazy.

I pulled these pictures off an Alaskan news website.

This is what it looked like riding by (minus the boat)

We kept riding and after much shivering and wetness we rolled into Anchorage to stay with a some friends of Eric’s family.
