McCarthy, AK is in the middle of nowhere. It is accessed by the outsiders via a foot and 4-wheeler bridge only. The forty residents pay $300 per year to access the private bridge down river. Ironically, there is fine dining in this rustic town. You can have a multi-star meal and then hike off to your tent.

This town is a gunslinger’s delight. You could have a great shoot-out here on this street.


This is Alaska, man, 4-wheeler, and large dog (translation, no wife).
