Talkeetna Alaska

Talkeetna is blessed with breathtaking views of Denali and the Alaska Range.  But all of the beauty is covered by clouds.  All we see is tour buses and the Alaska Railroad dropping off tourists to shop, dine and drink.


First Day of Summer...64 degree...short sleeves


Big Bear Campground in Wasilla

Drove out to check on a float plane and a trip to see Denali......Planes are not flying today because Denali is covered with clouds and there isn't a view...
Beautiful place tho with flowers.....and more flowers.....
