When most people see Alaska it is from the deck of a luxurious cruise ship. Not so for Gene and Doris Eggleston , who acted as campground hosts for the Alaska State Parks this summer. The Egglestons have traveled extensively. Their adventure to Alaska lasted from April 29 through Sept. 22. They were assigned to be hosts at Squirrel Creek, located in a remote part of the state. It’s located on the Richerson Highway in a rural area, 79 miles north of Valdez and 35 miles south of Glennallen. Mrs. Eggleston gave this description. ”Its 25 campsites scattered through a heavily wooded area. A fast flowing creek borders one side. It is an excellent area for salmon fishing. A lake borders the area and not only serves as a “swimming hole” but serves as a bathtub, since many people in the area don’t have electricity or running water. The Egglestons thoroughly enjoyed their time in this remote area of our 49th state.
