We left Riverview B & B this morning after a great breakfast from Homer and his son Patrick. They made homemade pecan waffles with sausage, juice and coffee. Homer and his wife taught in several bush communities in Alaska and shared some stories with us. We left by way of the Richardson Hwy and turned onto the Edgerton Hwy and saw these Tibetin Yaks. Later when we were eating at the Restaurant in Chitina we saw they had Yak burgers on the menu. We decided Yak Burgers were a "NO" for all of us.
The McCarthy Road may have been pretty rough since it was 60 miles of gravel, but the scenery was nothing short of spectacular.
The McCarthy Road followed the railroad bed most of the 60 miles. We did not have to cross this railroad tressel, thank goodness!
At the end of the road we crossed this foot bridge and a van from Ma Johnson's Hotel came to pick us up. The car was left behind as well as our cell phones.
Exploring the streets of McCarthy. The Golden Saloon is in the background. It housed the bar, the restaurant and served breakfast in the morning. It was also the venue for an underground band from San Franciso called the Murder by Death. We had a great time watching all the locals coming in to town to hear the band.
This is Ma Johnson's Hotel. It is actually owned by Neil who also owned the Golden Saloon and several other buildings in town. There was electricity and running water but no outlets in our rooms. There were 2 showers on each floor and only 2 toilets per floor. We enjoyed it just the same.
