Last Camp In Alaska....

(  Started writing this in Great Basin N.P. in Nevada with little signal, went to Zion N.P. no signal, and now we are at Bryce N.P. in Utah with 4g and I can add the pictures now. )
On Aug. 20, we said goodbye to a great camp host at the Matanuska River Borough Campground in Palmer for the last time. ( We camped there three times over the summer! )
We drive east on Glenn Highway to the Nabesna Road entrance of Wrangell-St.Elias National Park.  I can't begin to tell you how beautiful it is.    Nabesda Rd. is only 42 miles long and is one of only two roads into the 13.2 million acre park.  Along the road are a few boondocking sites and near the end where we stayed is a rustic campground with 10 sites. 
We only stayed one night because the weather forecast was calling for some really low night temps.  (We heard the nights got down in the twenties right after we left.)

Above pictures show our last day in Alaska.  Remember, summer in Alaska  meant no dark.  We had to wait until our last night to see a sunset without staying up until 4am.
The next day we headed east again on the Tok Cutoff for the Alaskan- Canadian Border.
