Nice Cruiser! I live in that area and make frequent trips up there and play in those woods alot. It's true that access can be hit or miss, the gates are usually locked up in the summer. I've never tried to go the back way from Logsden, but I second that Valley of the Giants is worth the hunt...
Awesome pictures.
In the late 70's I lived in Rowan Bay on Kuiu Island, and Wrangell was the nearest town by plane. I was very little when my parents left, I don't remember much, so those pictures are nice to see. Thanks for sharing!
I second DblD on Riggs by wrangler. Generous cut and last a long time. I'm 6'3" and 275# and have a tall torso and short legs. Carhartt generally gets me by for t-shirts and other shirts.
