Montana Creek Campground, Talkeetna, AK

Really, this is just a travel and restock day as we head toward Denali. We had everything packed since rain was threatening, and we drove up the road 10 miles or so ro Girdqood for breakfast. Excellent coffee and good eats at the Hightower Pub. Girdwood was celebrating its "Forest Festival" and had many hippies young and old there to celebrate.

We found the Laundromall, which is an all-purpose laundromat with pay showers and a Cannabis store in the front. Showers were $8 and lasted 8 minutes. Money we'll spent we decided! We did not use the laundry or Cannabis services but pressed on to Amchorage.

We stopped for a few hours at the PX (more bug repelling stuff) and the commissisary. Phil called Fairbanks to get an appt to have the wheel bearings on the camper repacked there. We struck out so far on scheduling an oil change though. The Chevy dealer was booked out until July 23. We'll try Midas when we get cell service again.

Overall, it was a pretty regular travel day. It is supposed to rain overnight and most of the day tomorrow, so we'll head out early in search of breakfast in Talkeetna a few miles up the road.Read more
