A few days ago I talking about how much I miss brushkana creek my favorite road campsite.

I would also fill it up gas and try the haul road as far as you feel comfortable. They are featuring that road on "ice road truckers" recently. Its not too bad up to the yukon. Adventurous after that.
The denali highway that runs from cantwell to the valdez highway near glenallen is one of the world's prettiest drives with brushkana being the best campground available. Too early in the season but on the ridge behind the campground is where MJ used to pick blueberries while I loafed around the campfire with the babies.
Last time I was there was memorial day weekend 1998 and it still had some snow on the ground.
