We came prepared, but the rivers and lakes in this part of Alaska don't give up their treasures easily. So far we've hit four lakes, a creek and three rivers, but we've only caught one fish, a lake trout too small to keep out of Carpenter Lake.
Near the Alaska Pipeline, south of Copper Center. This is about 3,000 ft. elevation, loking down at the Little Tonsina River and the Copper Valley. Mt. Sanford, at 16,237 feet is in the far background, over 100 miles distant.
All traffic (3 pickups, a car & 2 big rigs) has been stopped while the highway department test fires its avalanche weapon. We were here about 20 minutes and heard four rounds being fired.
