Favorite Rock Cairns from Myra

By Deborah

I’ve seen many rock cairns near the start of the dirt road that goes from Chitina to McCarty, Alaska. This road follows an old railroad bed and is 60 miles to MCCarthy and across the river is Kennicot, an old cooper mine town now owned by the National Park Service. This road is one of the few roads into Wrangell-St.Elias National Park. The rock cairns are right outside of Chitina which is a small Native American village. The road is very rugged and take a spare tire or two since this was a railroad bed with nails because you will need it for your flats.

Favorite Rock Cairns from Catherine

By Deborah

IMG_2294Here is rock cairn I photographed in Ogunquit, Maine in the fall of 2013. This is the rocky coast of what’s called the Marginal Way — one of my favorite places to take walks, especially at dawn and dusk. The town discourages the building of these but I love to come upon them!
