While Jim and I were in Ohio Jim took the trip to Alaska that he won through a photography web site. He was in the Wrangall-St Elias National Park and Forest Preserve where he and four others ( 3 more winners and their guide) spent the week in a cabin with no running water or electricity. They melted snow on the stove for cooking and washing and cooked all their meals there too. The stove was a Yukon stove which is a 55 gallon drum laid on its side and it has a door in one end where you load in the wood. He had a wonderful time seeing the wildlife ( a moose, a Lynx, and more) and hiking to nearby and not so near by areas for photos. They drove to Valdez one day as well as some other areas. On his last day there, once back in Anchorage, he rented a car and did some sightseeing around the area before taking the red-eye home.
