Comments:	The Machine is in the gift shop of Portage Lake - Portage Glacier. The Lake is located between Anchorage and Whittier AK in the Chugach National Forest. <p> It is just approx 5 miles south of the wildlife conservation center. Both of which are just south or Portage. Hence you'll drive through clear Portage before coming to them if coming from Anchorage.<p> There are 4 horizontal dies that are "mules" with 'Chugach National Forest' on the front and 'Begich, Boggs Visitor Center' on the back. Designs are: <br> 1) 'Be Safe With Fire', Smokey's head, <br> 2) 'Portage Lake', Image of lake and area, <br> 3) 'Watchable Wildlife', Bear, <br> 4) 'Woodsy Owl', Owl in costume <p> 07/11/23: You can access the machine without the $5 fee. It's to the left of the forest service counter. BTW, you can go in for free to the displays if you have a NP pass. Pennies rolled good on copper. There is no gift shop in the visitor center. JLT
