Aslaska 11, Talkeetna

People who know say Talkeetna is the inspiration of the TV series NORTHERN EXPOSURE.  

In Alaska it is illegal to gamble.   But you can drop moose dung from airplanes at numbers on the ground.  If the numbers you hit are winners you win the jack pot.

We had lunch here

Just beyond Main Street three Rivers meet.  We were by rushing waters when some lady who just brought her daughter down said, "Look!  Denal!"  Over and Below

I noticed they seem to make no big deals out of their funeral homes.  The funeral homes do not warm and comfortable.  I think most of the funeral homes in this area have a front porch or veranda with rocking chairs.  I wonder if it has anything to do with the bodies are held until the ground thaws out to be buried.
