Re: 1991: CT to Alaska in a '67 C10

Pic 1: The entrance road to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. It's huge. I think the entrance road was 90 miles.

Pic 2: Abandoned copper mine.

Pic 3: Just needs a little work...

Pic 4: Yup - we got stuck on the way out. Gotta watch those shoulders.

Pic 1: Fishing out the back while under way. What can I say - ya get a little freaky after driving 14K miles in three weeks.

Pic 2: "Wake up and look at the glacier!"

Pic 3: Waterfalls near Valdez.

Pic 4: Valdez seemed to have cleaned up nicely after the spill.

Pic 1: Denali. Home of the big one. It was in the clouds when we were there (like it usually is), but it's still a great park.

Pic 2: Public Service Announcement: Grizzly Bears are big!

Pic 3: "Ya'll got funny looking deer up here."

Pic 4: Alaska in July.

Pic 1: Kenai Fjords NP. That's the glacier that leads to the Harding Ice Field in the background.

Pic 2: Hiking up along the glacier with the Freddie Krueger sweater on.

Pic 3: The Harding Ice Shelf. It's huge. Big. Really big.

Pic 4: Surfing the Harding Ice Shelf on our rain pants. Seemed like the thing to do.

Pic 5: It's a long walk back up...

Jasper/Banff NP in Canada. We had to breeze back through Canada - customs told us to go straight to the US border. I guess we didn't look (or smell) too good at this point. Oh well, Canada was some nice cruisin'

Back in the USA! Not easily though. Customs in Montana didn't seem to want the smell in the US either. We lost a number of hours there.

Pic 1: Devil's Tower in WY.

Pic 2: The Badlands in SD.

Pic 3: "Have You Dug Wall Drug?" Well - have you?

Pic 4: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Who knew that they put part of Daytona Beach in Indiana? This was our first dip in the water since the hot springs on the way up. Phew!
