First McCarthy Footbridge
Left to right, photo of artist Paul Calle, his wife Olga, and Joann Franks carrying luggage across part of Kennicott River on a makeshift footbridge. Access to McCarthy and the Kennicott by road was pretty primitive in 1991. I enjoyed spending time and learning from Paul during a photo research trip in the Wrangell-St. Elias wilderness, Alaska. This jerry-rigged bridge is now replaced with a well-built steel foot bridge.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaska wilderness artist
