We made it!
Watch for moose along the trail.
We ride five scenic miles on ATV-only trails to DeVore's family homestead.
This is a rare opportunity to visit an original Alaskan Homestead and view the original cabin and various implements and tools used by the early day pioneers. Your guide relates to you the hardships and challenges faced during their first winters.
The old 1959 homestead buildings are where the DeVore family lived their first years in Alaska.
Next, it is on to lunch at Dennis' personal cabin on Wiggle Creek on the back quarter of the homestead. After lunch, you'll have time to target practice.
You may gold pan on Wiggle Creek or relax with a game of horseshoes, croquette or pick berries (depending on the season).
Checking the gold pan for gold flecks.
