Continued north on the Richardson highway through the Copper Center Loop, which has a nice view of the river.

The Tok Cutoff road was really, really bad—roller coaster, gravel, and construction.

There were great views of snow-capped Cobb Lakes.

 Wrangell Mountains and lots of fireweed down the roadside hills. 




The Sourdough Campground has nice camp spots; lots of trees.  Tok Sourdough RV

 Had their dinner—reindeer chili and corn chowder in a sourdough bread bowl.  The bread was wonderful but there wasn't enough of the chili or corn chowder.

The nightly activity is a pancake toss.  You get two tries to get a pancake in the bucket; the prize is an all-you-can-eat sourdough pancake breakfast.  Neither of us got our pancakes in the bucket, but it was lots of fun and laughs.
