Returned from Wrangell St. Elias National Park

Filed under: National Parks — admin @ 00:49

hello all, I recently returned from my last trip to the Wrangell St. Elias National Park(McCarthy Side) and I grabbed my paintings from my last trip out there. I have a lot in the university heights subdivision on the Dan Creek road behind McCarthy.  I went up to the top of Bonanza peak three weeks ago with my buddy Seamus and my favorite exchange student(FES) Hanif. I dragged them up the mountain with me and it was a nine hour grueling ascent, after making these guys hang out  improving my lot out there.   I did these two paintings on the hike, the first is from the old mining transfer station for the tramway, and the second is from the ridge-line of Bonanza peak.  There was only one injury as Seamus was subjected to a sprained ankle… bumdilly.  As for the most recent trip I have another work to show you but will have to wait for a few days as I left it with Jim Drewry the parking lot attendant as a tip.  My buddy Mudhole Bailey took a pic of it and I will receive that photo tomorrow evening, so stay tuned to see it…  I painted today too, so look for a nice coastal trail piece looking at downtown Anchorage…
