Talkeetna to Wasilla

After a good night’s sleep, despite the blood on the bed sheets (used my sleeping bag instead), we drove to the flying squirrel for a delicious breakfast. Back at the Talkeetna Inn, we packed everything up and then continued south. We stopped at the birch syrup shop and had a tour of things but didn’t buy any syrup, although it was tasty.

Just outside Wasilla, we stopped at the Iditarod headquarters and watched an interesting film about the race and the dogs. Outside we saw some sled dogs but decided against going on a sled ride.

We then drove to our hotel and started the mammoth task of repacking everything ready for Brooks Camp. They limit luggage so we had to sort everything into what we needed and what we would leave. And we had to plan and prepare all the meals we needed while we were there.
