Year Four - Day Fifty-Six

Summer's View

Today we moved further south down the road to the small town of Talkeetna.  It is about 120 miles from Cantwell. The day was mostly sunny again, and the temperatures were in the low 70’s.

Talkeetna is a quaint little tourist town, primarily setup as a stop for the tour busses that are part of the cruise ship industry.  A street filled with different restaurants and local artisans shops, it is very woodsy and cute. Our campground is only ½  mile from town, so I walked to town to check it out, and stopped for a view of the Sustina River.  Jim and Sam went fishing nearby for a couple of hours. The train depot for the Alaska Railroad is right behind the campground.
