Today was a moving day. We left Cantwell about 10:30am heading south on Highway 3. We planned on going into Anchorage and spending the night in the parking lot of a Fred Meyers Store but decided to stop in Wasilla instead. Wasilla is the home town of Sarah Palin. We haven’t seen her yet. Ha Ha I doubt she is even in Alaska right now with all her speeches at the Tea Party Rally's. We did stop at Talkeetna, Alaska on the way down. This is the staging town for people that attempt to climb Mt McKinley. It’s just a tourist town with tours to fly over the mountain and rides up river on air boats. We didn’t do either. The trip down should have been beautiful but it was rainy with very low clouds and we couldn’t even see the mountains that were on both sides of the road. Luckily we got to see some of it yesterday when we went gold panning.
As we drove into Wasilla, Twila noticed a chain saw carving store on the west side of the road. After we got parked at Fred Meyers, Gary unhooked his trailer and we went back to the store in his truck. These were some of the best chain saw carving I have seen.
There was also a pet wolf that liked women but was afraid of men. They said a man scared it when it was a pup.
It let Twila pet it.
Tomorrow we will go on into Anchorage which is about 40 miles further.
