Wrangell is a charming community that has only 14 miles of paved highway and boats outnumber cars. There are no traffic lights. This is really a working town and not a normal tourist destination. For us it is a great stop. Lots of back road to explore a no traffic. It was a little disappointing that we did not see more wild animals.
We are spending three nights at Shoemaker Bay RV Park. It has electricity and we are once again parked with a view of the water. There is a paved walking and biking path that begins at the southern edge of downtown and parallels Zimovia Highway and continues on past the RV park where we are staying. We enjoyed cycling on it and watching for eagles and blue herons along the coast.
Vicky of Parks and Rec was the person that Sue and Susi talked to about camping in Wrangell. Turns out that she and her husband Rick are interested in Airstreams. She stopped over one evening to chat and see our unit. It also turned out that she is the life guard and water aerobics instructor at the local pool. Both Sue and Susi were excited about this but the pool hours and ours did not work out.
On our drive on the logging roads lead us to a beautify forest service cabin(Middle Ridge) that you can rent. It come complete with wood stove, wood, and row boat on the lake. We could see our selves spending a few days here. Not a place to bring the trailer however because most of the grades were 18% with lots of very tight turns. It’s a single lane road with and occasional pull off. Had trouble getting Sue to look at the scenes rather than the road. The road surface was really quite good and had been graveled in the last couple of years.
See all the pictures here.
