| Wellwood Center B&B in Kenny Lake, AK |
We departed from the Wellwood Center B&B, went up the few miles of Edgerton Highway to head north on Richardson Highway, AK-4. At Gakona Junction, we turned northeast on Tok Cutoff/AK-1.
 |
Gakona Lodge and Trading Post (1929),
the oldest operating roadhouse in Alaska |
 |
Cobb Lakes, a chain of three lakes, with two seen here;
today we cannot see any of the Wrangell Mountains |
A short detour down Nasbena Road to the Hart D Ranch.
 |
Apparently artist and sculptor Mary Frances DeHart has retired,
as her RV park and hotel complex is up for sale |
Nasbena Road took us into the Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve, the largest national park in the United States.
 |
| We found the culvert where you were to look for owls |
 |
| A cow moose crossed our path |
 |
At Mile 16.6 we saw Kettle Lake, but none of the
significant peaks of the Wrangell Mountains |
 |
| "Toilet One Mile" |
We didn't bother to confirm the location of the toilet, but turned around to return to the Tok Cutoff/AK-1.
 |
| View of the Slana River, but no mountains |
 |
| Mentasta Mountains, the eastern border of Wrangell-St Elias National Park |
We arrived in Tok, AK, and turned east on the Alaska Highway/AK-2.
 |
| An Alaska Wood Stove you can sleep in |
 |
| The Wood Stove Cabin has one door and one window |
 |
| The entrance to Burnt Paw Gifts |
We had lunch at Fast Eddy's, and stayed a second time at the Alaska Stoves Campground's hostel.
Kent did some laundry as I worked on editing photos.
What a great pic of the moose - posed for you! I had no idea that our largest National Park was this one in AK!
