The Red City
Minas Tirith-y don't you think? Gah I'm such a nerd!
To Industry
Man we used to be pretty impressive! Look what man was able to build! Doesn't beat nature but still impressive engineering.
Fixer Upper
The WSE workers are working overtime to get the mill back to its former glory
Pizza Hut
The town of Kennicott is a big tourism spot...I enjoyed the walk through the town on my way out of the back country.
Lakina Crossing
Only one way across this river and it ain't wading.
Reststop Reflection
I had to pull over to take a look at this serene landscape. Massive but peaceful
River Retreat
Leaving Kennicott and McCarthy behind me I cross the bridge to return to my car that is hopefully still there.
The Pot Hole
You can see the "Paid Thru" paper on my dash. A real official way of handling parking down here in McCarthy.
Golden Alaska
The grass was so golden, long, and wet. It had a shiny glow to it while I drove passed it. Driving through a sea of liquid gold.
Hidden Lake
It didn't matter where you stopped, there was always a surprise on the side of the road.
Natural Coloring
Nothing about Alaska is unnatural. Wrangell - St. Elias National Park is no exception.
Life Of A Pothole
The McCarthy Road was a 60 mile stretch of potholes. Some worse than others but all bad!
Car's Bane
The return trip along the McCarthy Road didn't seem so bad. Maybe thats just because I was more alert or became more evasive in my driving.
Peaceful Giants
As far as mountains go, these two have it made in the shade. It wouldn't be so bad being stuck here for eternity if I had this tranquil landscape to ponder over.
Greyscape
Yeah I could stay here forever. I was in no rush. The days were long and my only time demand was to return the car by the end of the day.
Rough Peaks
Though they seemed smaller due to perspective. These peaks would tower over the closer low-lying mountains.
Tree Cousins
Different in many ways but similar in how they add to the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness
BIG Game!
Wow...
Leaving Wrangell - St. Elias
It was not pleasant moment leaving Wrangell - St. Elias National Park. The park brought be much joy, excitement, and hardship. But I was looking forward to the next leg of the journey.
McCarthy Road
The view were spectacular but I was relieved to be off that insanely bumpy road
Object In Mirror...
It would take a LONG time before this object seemed very far at all!
Grey and Gold
Nothing in eastern Alaska was un-wild. "Tame" describes nothing here...not even the imagination.
Thin Forests, Big Mountains
There was an inverse relationship between the density of the forests and the size of the moutains.
Alaskan Desert
Vast stretches of wild open tundra and sparce pine forests.
