Hi Thomas,

You know the road gets a little narrow past the town of Nabesna, but there are some neat old mines on past the town - continuing down the road and exploring the old mines would make a nice trek. The road also passes through some high country where you can pretty much just get out and hike. There really aren’t any trails, but I have headed out towards the Wrangell mountain foothills and found some beautiful country.

Sounds like you are going to have a great trip!

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Niebrugge Images - Photo Blog, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

Hi George,

Thanks for the kind words - I appreciate it!

Yes the artist who did Frozen Copper is my mother.

You are fortunate to be going back to McCarthy this summer - it has been a couple of years since I have been there, and I miss it! have a great trip.

My friends from Anchorage sent me a print of “Frozen Copper.” I am guessing that the artist is your mother. Anyway, as soon as I put it up on the wall today, I went and googled your last name and I opened your web page. Our friends have taken us to McCarth twice already and we will be there again in July. We were there for the 4th of July last year and enjoyed the parade and other festivities. I have only been over this bridge a few times but always in the car. Spouse and friend have walked out and taken pics over the side. We are nikon dslr folks and friends are Canon dslr folks. We manage to remain friends in spite of that. Really enjoy your web site. The photos are outstanding. Couldn’t believe seeing Antelope Canyon. That was a google search of mine last week because I am interested in going there myself.

Thanks Michael,

Yeah my wife has a fear of heights as well â€“ I think she kept her eyes glues to the dash!

Ahh yes, … a road trip to make the blood pressure rise a bit!
Would love to travel and explore along a road such as this.
This little section of bridge looks a bit precarious, and probably something I could not get the wife to cross if her life depended on it!

Love what you have been showing us all Ron.
Keep’em coming!

I’ve been enjoying your series about Wrangell-St Elias. It’s amazing how big and beautiful it is! I have to visit there someday, hopefully.
