While visiting the Treadwell Mine we ran into one of Emily’s relatives. He took us up to his cabin in the woods a few miles from the end of the road. To go to town and come home at the end of the day he has to hike. For where he lives though it looks totally worth the walk.

The cabin. Everything has to be helicoptered in because there is no road to the site.
