Are you from Prescott? We are from Seligman just to the north of you. Have traveled Yarnell Hill many times and sadly watched all the video we could find (which is not great here in the Yukon although we do have CNN). I have some friends whose daughter went to school with some of the guys. Terrible tragedy.
How did you like Manley? Any recommendations? We will be in Denali August 19 for 4 days and then will go north. Hope to see some Northern Lights by then. I know it's a bit early but maybe ...
We are from Flagstaff. Seligman = Lilos!
The road to Manley is not too bad but take it slow, the potholes and dust pockets come up fast. Crews were working on the road in 2 different areas so some of the worst may be fixed when you go. The pavement out of Fox wasn't much better. Watch for gravel trucks when you get about 15 miles from Manley their hauling to the new airport.
My highlight was meeting Joe and Pam Redington Jr. at their Iditarod kennels it was a chance meeting for us as we went there to purchase fishing licenses and came away with some great memories. Hot Springs are a must do call for appointmnet (numbers in the milepost).
