Denali – Talkeetna

The snow didn’t clear on the landing yesterday so the team had to head back into town.  Hold thumbs that they can fly today…

Extract from Sean’s book ‘Freeze Frame’ – ‘Talkeetna’s roadside bars and cafes are resplendent with charming reminders of the pioneers who once eked out a bleak existence in those forested foothills.  Bear traps, fox pelts and old tennis racket-type snowshoes adorn walls.  It boasts every modern convenience but is unashamedly an outback town, and bar brawls are regarded as a regional sport.’
