The caravaners were divided into 4 groups. One group went in the morning by bus to the town of Coldfoot, AK, across the Arctic Circle. The second group left a little later in the morning and flew to Coldfoot. Then there was a trade... bus group flew back and plane group took the bus back. At least that's how it was supposed work. Day one was too foggy in Coldfoot for the plane to land. Group one had to take the bus back... this was a 7 hour one way trip. The fliers were flown to a different Native community and landed there and explored. They flew back. Day 2 and groups 3 and 4: Rick and I bused up. This is the rest stop maybe a little over half way to Coldfoot.
This family was very interesting. They had their own kids (I don't remember.. 2 or 3) and then became foster parents for somewhere around 34 or 35 kids. They lived here in the many log buildings. We didn't see many during our visit, and I think most of them are now grown. This was a souvenir shop, coffee, sandwiches, etc.
The way to the "deluxe outhouses".
Yep. The restrooms. They are even worse than they look. But... them or nothing...
One of the family houses.
