DAY TWO-LAND TOUR

We didn't leave Alyeska Hotel until 11:00 am.
We drove about an hour to Anchorage 4th Avenue Market Place. I consider it a flea market.  There were food venders and people selling some cool stuff.  We left at 2:00 pm I thought this stop was a waste of time. We could have left earlier from hotel so that we could do more in Talkeetna.  I never did find Mayor Stubbs.
Talkeetna is a Quirky little town. Everyone seems to have a dog.

We arrive in Talkeetna at 5:00 pm Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.




We had a 5:30 time with K2 for Flightseeing over Mt. McKinley with Glacier landing.
It was pricey ,but I don't think we will be back any time soon.  We were the only ones who got to see Mt. McKinley.  
Captain Mike


Mt. McKinley

Base camp for climbers of Mt. McKinley.  (Crazy people)

Landed on Ruth Glacier

Someone built a private outhouse on top of the mountain.

They dropped us off in town.

Nagleys- Where Mayor Stubs lives.  Bought a $6.99 bag of chips.

Dinner at the brew house.  Heavy meal, we both had heart burn afterwards.
If you buy something, they offer a free taxi back to the hotel. Joe the taxi driver is the only taxi in town.
