Arriving in Lake Minchumina


This summer we were able to visit Alaska. We flew into Fairbanks and immediately prepared to fly to Lake Minchumina which is close to Mt. Denali. I have visited Lake Minchumina almost every summer of my life. There are no roads to Lake Minchumina. We chartered a plane and met up with my parents who had already been there for a week. We spent a week with no running water (only a natural spring that produces the coldest, freshest water), no electricity, and no stores. Our only mode of transportation is an ATV with a trailer on the back or boat. Here are the kids seeing Grandpa Randy for the first time since last summer.
