It was great! The drive in was not very promising as far as the forest and wildlife was concerned due to last year's wildfires. However I was pleasantly surprised when we got to upper skilak and I found most of the trees still intact and all of the campsites looking great. As far as the wildlife was concerned we had a black bear make an appearance on our road in and while at camp a moose walkthrough. Being from Alaska the moose did not bother us but those at the sites around us must have been from somewhere in the lower 48. Overall it was a great trip with lots of kayakinglittle bit of fishing and plenty of stories by the fire. Those who may be wondering there are plenty of RV sites and tent sites. Skilak is an every summer multiple times kind of thing. If you haven't been you live in Alaska you need to go. if you're not from Alaska make it one of your stops while you take your tour. And on a side notefor those of you who want your kids off of electronic devices there is little-to-no cell service or if you just need to have an excuse to get off your own.
