Today's easy day trip was to Talkeetna, the gateway to Denali. I had heard good things about that tourist town. It had been a while since Nina was there. The mayor of the town is an aging orange tabby cat named Stubbs.
It was my first sunny day in Alaska. By the time we were on the road to Talkeetna, 80 miles away, it was 72F outside. This was my first day not wearing that yellow raincoat. The warmth felt good. We drove in a northeasterly direction on a stretch of highway that saw a devastating wildfire wipe out the forest. Dead trees still line the highway north of Willow.
More later
