GM Service Manager a Hero
Ed said the GM service manager couldn’t have been nicer. He asked Ed if he was the fellow with the transmission problem then they took the truck into the shop and said it would be 2 hours. Ed and Colin went to run a couple of errands and called back in 2 hours. The truck was ready for pickup. The best part was everything was covered under warranty. By 1 pm we were on the road heading for Valdez again. Glaciers were the item of the day today. In the approximately 250 miles we drove I think we passed 5 or 6 glaciers. We stopped to view the Matanuska Glacier (we were about 1 mile away from it) and the Worthington Glacier (this one we walked up to). The Worthington Glacier is a small glacier but is neat as you can get close to it — in fact touch it. Zaph thought it was great scrambling up the rocks and crossing the little streams. Around 7:30pm we made it to a campground across the bay from Valdez. We had finally made.
BTW. if you need service on a GMC/Chev while traveling in the Plamer/Wasilla talk to Mike at Alaska Sales and Service, 907-376-4173 they are great, and certainly saved our trip!

These are what you might call "cool" people and dogs, of course a minute or so later a large piece of ice fell just about where they are standing!
So who wants to come play in the snow?
