Kato camouflaging himself as an unfinished quilt.
Another mid-week snow.
Every year, I share with students all the fun things you can do with felted wool as part of Explorations Day at O’Malley Elementary School.
Our new-to-us McCarthy Hauler loaded up for its maiden voyage to McCarthy, Alaska.
I know I don’t have to say it, but really, this is breath taking country.
Hatcher Pass is by far the windy-iest, windiest part of the trip.
I much prefer the straight away heading towards GlennAllen.
It’s always good to make it to GlennAllen in time for coffee.
This is a 320 mile trip with only five turns. The final one is a left at Chitina.
The portal to McCarthy, Alaska. Don’t mind the cracked windshield. Trust me. It is very Alaskan.
The mighty Copper River home to the best salmon in the world.
The road to McCarthy from Chitina is a 60 mile long dirt road that’s for the most part built on an old railroad track. Can you imagine riding that train?
Trees and more trees. There is just something about trees. A birch stand is always a good thing.
Almost there.
Running towards our cabin.
Here is our little gold miner’s cabin built by a miner for his bride in 1920. I’m pretty sure she would have veto’ed the tent he was living in prior to their marriage.
If Copper Valley HIGH speed internet holds true to its name, I hope to share more McCarthy adventures in the days to come. Happy Spring Break!
OMG I am with you in spirit. If Zac wants some help with wood. Tell Fletch I will pay them both… Fletch extra to split what Jack hauls in…. in addition to what there is to stack. These photos are killing me girlfriend.!

That is the idea Grandma Patt. I am trying to entice you into getting in your car and driving out here.
Loved the pics of Alaska. Thinking of you as I watch HGTV where couples are looking for property there.
Carole- They are filming a reality show just down the street from us! Soon you will get to meet our neighbors on T.V.!
Loved seeing this! Looking forward to more pix..Have a great spring break!
Thank you Sue! So far so good.
Wonderful pictures. That’s a sweet little green cabin. Here’s hoping you’ll get some sun on those solar panels!
Thank you Kerri. I do love our cabin. It is not fancy but totally built for Alaskan winters.
