Gateway to Denali...

We spent the day in Talkeetna, AK on the way south. It's a cool little town, made famous by the railroad and as a staging place for those about the ascend Mt. McKinley. 

The name of the mountain was changed from Mt. Mckinley to Denali in August, 2015, or should I say, back to Denali, but it's taking some time to get everything lined up. Most of the maps we saw still referred to Mt. McKinley. Either way, the mountain was awesome. 







We spent some time walking around, eating (of course) and seeing the sights. As we do, some of us posed with some photo boards.





















Of course there was ice cream. And along with the ice cream, was a young woman that noticed our guys in their matching hats, looking happy all day. Turns out that she writes for a newspaper in Pittsburgh and also for National Geographic. She interviewed the guys for an article she was writing as they enjoyed their ice cream and promised to let them know when they would have their "15 minutes of fame".

I can't top that with the blog.
