We left Seward early in order to drive eight and a half hours to McCarthy in the Wrangell-St Elias National Park. It was a very long but gorgeous drive. The last two hours of the drive was 60 miles of dirt road. Although the day was long getting to McCarthy was well worth the drive time.
This little town is comprised of mostly summer workers, everything is brought in, solar power is the only power, water is filtered right from the river, and everyone there is friendly. Right away we felt at home and ready to move in for the rest of the summer. It reminded us of our favorite camp spot in Rubicam Springs and what a little town would look and feel like there.
We ate at The Potato which lived up to its reviews. The food was delicious and camp atmosphere could not be beat. We went back to our cottage which was just big enough with two bedrooms, a futon, and a bathroom. Outside the world felt like an amazing camp spot but inside we felt like we were in a top of the line guest house.
