The Dick Proenneke cabin is now a museum in Alaska’s Lake Clark National Park

It’s good to see the National Park Service is going to preserve Dick Proenneke’s cabin as a museum. I hope to visit the site myself some day.
The beauty and remoteness of the Lake Clark National Park definitely puts it in my top 5 places to disappear to.
A month or two trying to survive in this wilderness would make my daily problems look ridiculous.
I put some more pictures of Dick Proenneke, his cabin, and Twin Lakes in the photo gallery.

I have watched his story every time it runs on PBS. A very interesting man.

I wish I could have known Mr. Proenneke. I have read both books and own both DVDs. Is there a plan to make more of his writings available? I am really fascinated by him.

Yes, Bob – a second edition of Dick’s journals is being edited as of now and may be ready for publication by the fall. It’s being done by John Branson, a NPS Ranger who knew Dick and edited the last book, “More Readings from One Man’s Wilderness”. It will cover the years after the first book, from around ’68 on.
