I have always wanted to go there.

1. I haven't been to Lake Clark

but those photos in the link are beautiful. I've been up here 30 years, but there are so many places I haven't been. Lack of roads is kind of an issue.

2. is that one of those places you need to hire a plane to get to?

i know i've heard it advertised on the radio in those flight plane fishing tours spots...very pricey to get too...but the fishing is mah vo lus....

3. Wouldn't it be great

if they cut deals for residents? I just don't see why we have to pay as much as Outsiders to see our state. (Is my provincialism showing?)

Package #2 includes a visit to the Proenneke cabin.

Here is a link to some videos that I have, and they will knock your socks off!

I also have a discontinued video called The Frozen North, which is narrated by Dick Proenneke. If you call the publisher, they may still have some copies. I read somewhere that there might be some more of Dick's journals to be published, since "One Man's Wilderness" is only from his first year. He took tons of footage too. I don't know where the link is, but I read somewhere that it is a $450 flight from somewhere, probably Port Alsworth.
I'm from Wisconsin, and it is my dream to come to Alaska some day, just can't afford it yet, on a teacher's salary.
