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.
