We went to the Iditerod Trail Headquarters in Wasilla, AK. We got to pet the puppies, ride a sled pulled by Iditerod trained dogs, and meet the son of the founder of the annual Iditerod Races. Joe Reddington Sr, was the founder of the races. We met his son, Raymond, who know runs the family kennel now. Both of his sons will be racing in 2011.
From there, we went to Talkeetna. We took a picture from the Princess Lodge of Denali and Mt. McKinley. It was shrowded in clouds. We decided to take a flight over Denali since we knew it was going to be raining the next day when we drove to Denali. Besides the views of Mt. McKinley, we got incredible views of 13 glaciers. There are a few cabins out in the ice fields. These would be summer lodgings for vacationers. You would have to fly in to your lodging.
After the flight, we returned to the village of Talkeetna. One of the things we found interesting there was a John Deere ice cream machine. Apparently the Amish make these, and you can order one from them. We had to treat ourselves to homemade ice cream.
It’s off to Denali National Park tomorrow.
