Cooper Landing, Alaska
First time in Alaska and decided to take a little excursion while we were here. We had the best time ever! Prospector John was super funny, very informative and once we arrived to the claim Curtis took us on a little adventure to see the mechanics of everything! We had the best day! Thank you so much for our adventure!
