Wrangell-St. Elias National Park -conti.
(I am still working on my editing skills ???) We spent the night at the Half Way B&B after the owner gave us a lovely tour of her special home...house, cabins, bunkhouse, tenting area, greenhouse, gift shop, and pelts!!! Yes, I said pelts...they are trappers!!! Real Alaska! The trap fox, lynx, bear, coyote, wolf, etc. and sell the skins. The Russians love the lynx! A different world!!!! The next morning, conti. our drive to the end of the road, then hiked two miles over two walking bridges to McCarthy (small mining town) and then took a shuttle to the Kennecott Glacier and mine. We spent most of our time taking a walking tour of the mine and then a hike to the Glacier. Although, we did not make it to the glacier because a black bear was grazing on berries along the trail. We did get good pictures of the bear, but decided to head back to the mine. Awesome day again as if living within a National Geographic magazine! Alaska is an incredible piece of our world!!!! Next adventure..Valdez....
