A primitive clearing on the shore of Tatya River, in Dyea, Alaska, not far from Skagway. Just off of blacktop, but tucked away in the trees. A fire ring is here, and enough room for two or three vehicles. Tourists on rafting tours float by during the day. Pleasant setting. Other van-dwellers might pop in and out, but generally quiet. No cell service. Recommended.
