What is Mile 238?

Mile 238 is a blog about my summer living and working at Denali National Park in Alaska.  It will probably be rambling and skip from topic to topic.  Other than that, I promise nothing.

Why the name?  Addresses in rural Alaska tend to be given by highway mile (if they're on a road at all), and the Denali Park Road is located at mile 238 of the Parks Highway, that is, 238 miles north of the zero point in Anchorage.  So if you sent a letter to Mile 238 Parks Highway, Denali Park, AK 99755, it would get delivered to park headquarters.
