We headed to Talkeetna after we got set up in camp....they were having their annual 'Moose Dropping Festival'. By the time we got there all the activities were over, they still had a lot of booths, crafts and food tents up. Talkeetna is the jumping off point for most climbing expeditions to Mt. McKinley. The climbers are flown to Kahiltna Glacier to start the climb from about 7200' to the summit of the South Peak (which is at 20,320') this route usually takes the climbers 17-20 days. Pat signed up to take a flight-seeing trip to Mt. McKinley or "Denali' the name it is called in Alaska, tomorrow morning. We ate at West Rib Pub & Grill.

May 3, 2011 finds us back on the road for six months, headed for the Northeast and the Canadian Maritimes. As of September 2008 we now are full timers in our motorhome. We plan to see as much of the North American continent as we can.
When we are not traveling in the summer, we will make our home in Star Valley, WY where we have an RV lot.
Here we are able to play golf, fly model airplanes, quilting, line dancing, dance parties, play cards, swim and four wheel in the mountains. Star Valley is located just 50 miles south of Jackson Hole, WY and we are surrounded by mountains. The temperatures here are very comfortable for the summer. Winter is a different story and that is why we won't be there. Way to cold for us although Barb does like the winter snow so we will probably find some now and then.
