Great advice and information from Leleah, from the hotel. Learned of some interesting sights in and around town, and she was kind enough to get me on a list for reservations in an Anchorage hotel (if flights start departing and rooms open up.)
For my brother...Stopped by Carrs, a grocery store in this town...Smokes are $45.00 a carton!!! Glad I quit!!!

The Talkeetna Ranger Station for Denali National Park and Preserve is where hikers go to get information and sign up to attempt a climb up Mount Denali. |
Inside, Ranger Maureen was very helpful in providing information about a climb up the mountain. |
Some interesting notes about Mount McKinley/Denali. |
My next visit was to the Talkeetna Museum. They had a rather interesting and eclectic collection on hand which I enjoyed. |
A gift shop near the museum. |
"Main Street" Talkeetna |
One of their welcome signs! |
I had dinner here last night at the West Rib. |
The Talkeetna Airport (TKA). No activity today. |
My next stop was Palmer. This is the town Visitor Center. I stopped short of Anchorage as I had heard many hotels were booked up due to the flight cancellations. My hotel in Palmer had stranded passengers. |
This mileage post was next to the visitor center. |
I had to get a picture of the listing for Augusta Maine, 4826 miles away! |
I saw this interesting spider near the post. |
