We left Denali National Park after experiencing its beauty and grandeur. One of our missions for the day was to visit Talkeetna, to fill Marilyn's Northern Exposure small town desire. After traveling over many miles we finally arrive as well as the train delivering the cruise ship passengers! Needless to say, there was not a parking spot for RV's, so our efforts went in vain, and we turned around and headed ourselves down the road to Wasilla. As you know, this is Sarah Palin's town, and no we didn't see her and really weren't looking for her either. We were seeking a Wal-Mart and after enjoying our shopping there so very much, we decided to stay and enjoy watching all the other RVers. We ate our dinner and without power said goodnight so we would be ready for our travels down Alaska Highway 1.
We saw trumpeter swans, iditarod cabins, and the beginning of the Aleutian Island chain. We are staying at the Oceanview RV park and we have a wonderful view! After checking in we were excited to see our first bald eagle and a covey of ptarmigan. We are looking forward to 3 days of sight-seeing, deep sea fishing, and shopping!
