Logistics
- Google Maps link
- Looks obtainable. It's just off the road before the river.
Intended Attendees
- Orbatos, Nutsenmai and Nycti are driving up to Fairbanks, AK Thursday and might attempt this one.
Execution/Aftermath
- We stopped just ahead of milepost 264 on the Parks Highway with the gps showing the destination coordinates as being 0.4 miles off-road. I decided to take an exploratory look and went offroad to find it goes steeply downhill and appeared too open up after the trees into a wide sparsely-treed knobby tundra. And so I went back to the car to retrieve the gps and camera only to find the tundra degenerated into marsh after about 100 feet and quickly found myself wading for most of an hour until about 11:30pm, where I took a short panorama and and trudged back declaring a moratorium on bog at least without proper gear.
