That's lovely, Tom! We drove the length of the highway in 1992 in mid JUne Stayed at McClaren Lake Lodge - at the time, certainly, Lodge was a bit of delusion of grandure. a tumbledown place where they turn the generator off at night but the people were a delight. We drove from west to east. The weather permitted great views of the range and afforded the clearest view of Denali we saw on the trip, though not as interesting to photo as a result.. that classic postcard look. there had been small quakes near Anchorage and Mt Redout was about ot go "poof" again. We had been in Anchorage and were not on the long drive home. The lake on MT Redout turned from blue to black as a warning. We were well off the highway when the ash drifted over the range - a day or two later, I think. Thanks for the jogging of memories :) Maybe we should chat off list about our adventures on that highway -- ooops! but you dont' know how to do that, do you? ann ducks once again
