The two RV Gypsies went on a Jeep backcountry tour through mud and water July 6, 2009 |
The wild jeep journey began with a short ride on the George Parks Highway through the town of Healy. Then a turn onto Stampede Road, once called the Stampede Trail (a road NOT shown on any Alaska map). This road was carved out of the wilderness by early miners working the area's Kantishna gold fields and antimony mine. The road gained notoriety in the motion picture, "Into The Wild" directed by Sean Penn. | |

The two RV Gypsies arrived at the camp area
where Scott, the cook, resides all summer. Scott only leaves the camp
to do laundry. Food is brought into his camp for him. When the summer
is over, Scott lives in Anchorage, but said he would rather be in the
woods. |
