Talkeetna, AK
One of our tasks for the summer was to stop somewhere and get Geri's follow-up MRI done. We were able to do that in Wasilla today, so that's done. We'd stopped at the imaging center when we passed through Wasilla before, and were able to call last week to schedule her for 9:15 AM today. We were done there before noon, and used the afternoon to make the drive to Talkeetna. Other than finding a place to park ($20 dry camping at the boat launch - ouch!), there's not much else to report. The "park" has an interesting take on supplying water, though.
We stopped at one of the local "flightseeing" operations (there are about 8 of them here) and booked a trip for tomorrow morning, so that should be fun. Downtown Talkeetna? Well, that's a small area of gift shops, tour booking offices, and other "tourist stuff". It's a stop for all the cruise ship tours; people arrive by bus and walk around for a bit, then run for the bus before it leaves. Many of the cruise ship companies offer land tours in addition to the sailing, so they use the busses to schlep people from lodge to lodge for that part of their trip.
