We really liked this tiny coastal town near the southern tip of Alaska . Several buildings have survived from the mining town days giving the town a nice frontier feel. The first road into this area was in the 1970’s so it’s another last frontier.
Glacier covered mountains surround the town
The closest hospital is 4 hours away if an ambulance is available. There is one “ Medical Technician “ in the community. Don’t get really sick or injury you self here. Otherwise it’s a beautiful idealistic place to live.
We are starting to head home. We leave the last frontier hesitantly, we’ve grown to love all the natural beauty and complete lack of traffic and crowds. We haven’t looked at a TV screen in months and don’t miss it. The often lack of internet has been inconvenient but it’s also been refreshing, a real reset of priorities. We miss our family and friends but will also miss Alaska, the Yukon and Beautiful British Columbia. Canadians are a kind, friendly patient people , we will also miss them. It’s been quite a magical trip.
