Elliott, the rest of the story


Running from the mosquitoes!

Old cabin hiding it the woods at Livengood

Junction with the Dalton, traffic was so light, we sat here for about 10 minutes and didn't see anybody.

Pretty sun on a hill taken by Liam on our way home.

After leaving Tatalina, we drove up to the Tolovana River for lunch then on to the abandoned town of Livengood. Not much to see there. I think we should have driven further up the hill from the highway, but the road was rough and unknown. After making our bumpy way back to the Elliott, we drove up to the turn off for the Dalton Highway. Beyond that the road is unpaved, so I think we will leave that trip for another day. We decided to head back toward town and camp at the Tolovana. The camping spot is right off the road, unmaintained, but fairly clean. We were able to pull up not too far from the river and spent a long time fishing (see Liam's post) Kyle did a little panning, but had no luck. This being our last night we wandered back to town, stopping at the lower Chatanika for dinner.

  1. I love all of the interesting shots. It looks like you guys had a good adventure. I'm glad you get to get out and have these fun family outings, they will be times you'll remember forever.

  2. So many long legs in the running shot. Many more than I can see, since you were running from mosquitoes. Who won?

  3. Liam, did you notice the bluebells at the bottom of your picture? They are a nice bit of detail in a cool photo.
