Yeah, 1AK Shooter, Thumper sold his place and moved to AZ to take care of his parents. I only know of him from former Sportsman's Paradise Lodge owner Doug Fredericks. Shoot, I guess I should call Doug! He's born/raised/from Slana and has likely been up there too. Fwiw, I think the Mentasta Lodge on the cut-off is closed down.
Kinda looking like I don't have the right set-up to get there in the summer and it may be easier to do a sno-go trip. Might be time for a big rig. smile
