No; that combination does not describe my location.

Not Lake Louise (which, by my map, is closer to Anchorage than to the border)

It looks almost exactly halfway between, I didn't try to measure with precision...

Are you in Northway?

Recap:

- in Alaska
- not on the panhandle or the Kenai peninsula
- not north of Fairbanks
- east of Anchorage
- not closer to Anchorage in longitude than to the Canadian border
- not on the coast of the Gulf of Alaska (nor on a gulf coast)
- not in a community located along routes 1-11 or 98
- not in Southeastern Alaska as described here http://wikitravel.org/en/File:Alaska_regions_map.png
- not in Valdez, Northway, Eagle Village, Lake Louise, Healy Lake, or any place with "Lake" in its name
- the year-round population of the place is not more than 100 people. But seasonal fluctuations, even excluding tourists, tend to put the number above 100 for portions of the year
- not north of the Kenai Peninsula and south of Anchorage
- town's name begins with a letter from H to M, inclusive

Why, yes I am! That should narrow down the guessing quite significantly.

McCarthy it is!

I spent a summer there in 1993.
at the time, this was the only way to get to town from the outside world:
http://www.twohikers.org/westernmtns/Chitistone95/tram.jpg
http://www.alaskagold.com/copper/images/mcart1f.jpg
and my first trip, it was full of supplies; I had to stand on the outer frame and hold onto the top as I zoomed over the rapids.

this is the place I worked
http://www1.artflakes.com/artwork/products/566298/poster/962134.jpg
although generally not in this building; they had other properties around and a lot of what I did was landscaping-oriented.

go, Ibby!

Sounds like a majorly fun and adventurous experience, Kent.

It's CMK who actually guessed McCarthy, though.

That tram looks way cool (no pun intended). Where's the other (non-McCarthy) end connected to? But that lodge needs more moose antlers. There's way too much of the wooden walls visible.

I am not in the Americas.

the other side is McCarthy Road, which connects to state route 10 at Chitina (60 miles down the road) (route 10 goes east from Chitina, connecting with 4, and was supposed to continue south to Cordova, but was never finished).

Are you in Eurasia?
