Striking Gold in Copper Center Alaska







Bruce had some knobby tires shipped to friends of a friend who lived in Copper Center. Our plan was to pick up the tires, install them and then Bruce was ready to do some tough riding on the Haul Road-to Prudhoe Bay-250 miles of bad news.
In Copper Center we met Rose and Lefty-the nicest ,kindest folks you could find. They once lived in Quakertown and moved here five years ago. Their home is what everyone in the lower 48 pictures in their mind- a log cabin in the wilderness. They welcomed us warmly-fed us fresh halibut-gave us use of their shower (nothing need said) and we camped in their yard for two nights. Here's the best part-they have a grayling, trout, salmon stream in their back yard-I struck GOLD!
