This morning we left Denali National Park and drove to Talkeetna the town which was featured in the movie "Snow Dogs" staring Cuba Downing Jr. and is our grandson Ayden's favorite movie. Talkeetna is a very interesting little town which during the tourist season has a totally different flavor than in the winter when only the locals are there. This time of year little shops and eateries abound, however in the winter the old country store and the airstrip are the mainstays and sled dogs become a transportation option. We enjoyed a nice lunch and explored the town before proceeding for Palmer where we plan to spend three days. After arriving in Palmer, Nancy did laundry and I washed the Motorhome which was in dire need of a good clean-up after Denali.
