I finally made it to Alaska and was able to go to coyote lake in Sutton, Alaska. It is described as being a half mile of dirt road after the pavement ends that is passable in dry weather. It had not rained for more than a week, and there were burn limits so I thought I would have a chance. I drove maybe 10 feet onto the path where a stream was running down the road before I backed out. At the end of the payment were a couple of houses, with the expected rusting cars on their lots and the no parking signs. Slightly further back there was a pull-off for parking. Started up the trail past the rusting cars and the barking dog. I was starting to be worried when the dog came up to me. He would not leave me alone. he wanted to be rubbed and petted. The leaf fossils were abundant I brought home several bits of metasequoia , horsetails, and large broadleafed leaves that I don't recognize. The best of the broadleaf leaves were in rocks that were too big for me to carry home. While I was there man and his grandsons came up by atv to hunt fossils and fish. Nice people, nice place. and the dog went home before I finished so I didn't have to worry that he was lost.
