shadowmeboy Posted July 6, 2018 Author #330 Share Posted July 6, 2018 panorama from Mendenhall and Nugget Falls Here we are. looking back at the Visitor Center We started heading back and it started raining harder. We finally made it back. We were cold, tired, and soaked. After exploring the Visitor Center, we headed out from Mendenhall. We turned to the heater up in the car to help dry out. We went to Safeway and got sandwiches from the deli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted July 6, 2018 Author #331 Share Posted July 6, 2018 After lunch, the weather had not improved much. So we headed back into the main part of town. We had plans to visit the Shrine of St. Therese, but none of us wanted to walk out to the Shrine in the rain and get even more wet. The Jewel at AJ dock We drove by the Capitol Building. We headed back down South Franklin street. Susan dropped Jenner and I off by the tram. Susan and Jenny were going to drop the car off and catch the shuttle from AJ dock. Since there were 4 of us, the car was more economical even for the short time we used it. Taking the blue bus would have cost us $120 dollars. Rental car and Mendenhall Entrance fee ($5 per person) cost us $96.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted July 6, 2018 Author #337 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Talking to Jenny before heading in. They were headed back to the ship as they were done with their shopping. After finding a few treasures, we decided to head back up the tram. Tram tickets are good for unlimited rides on the day of use. Up we go! cleared up a bit.
