Eagle Alaska

Eagle Exploratory Expedition - our group of 14 Alaskan Airstreamers accompanied by local guide John Brog toured the remains of the Gold Rush town of Eagle on the Yukon River, population 86..... a time capsule and snapshot of a long ago pioneer life in a town that freezes to -40 (F or C degrees - it's the same!) for 6 or more months of the year! We visited alaska's first Federal Courthouse, Fort Egbert telegraph communications center, Yukon-Charley Rivers National Reserve HQ where we watched the video of the disastrous ice break-up of 2013 ice jam and consequent flooding of most of the downtown area.
