There is no "typical" roadhouse or lodge in Alaska. Each one is different, sometimes, very different. The Pinnacle Mountain Lodge, cafe, RV park, laundromat, general store, animal rescue farm, art gallery and farm implement museum/storage facility at Milepost 70 of the Glenn Highway is just such a place. Along the long driveway and throughout the property you will find tractors and farm implements in various stages of restoration or disrepair. Behind this interesting facade is a collection of sheds, pens and metal shipping containers that house all manner of livestock and fowl, usually rescued by the proprietors from some desperate situation. There is a small hill on the property with a sprinkling of boots over it.
They do serve a decent breakfast.
Alaska is the largest state in the United States by area. It is situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent, with Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, with Russia further west across the Bering Strait. Approximately half of Alaska's 710,231 residents (as per the 2010 United States Census) live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Alaska is the least densely populated state of the U.S.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska
