Short day today, rode up to Talkeentna today, the Alaska version of Helen Ga., but a very nice area.  Had lunch at the Roadhouse and it was tasty, Great breakfast till 2pm.  I had the home fries smothered in Raindeer sausage gravy and topped with cheese, my bride ordered a blue berry pancake, which arrived hanging over the plate all around and whole blue berries, delicious.  We watched a couple of sea planes take off and land and while viewing Mt. Mckinley, observed a plane with skis which I later learned this plane carries people to Mt. Mckinley and lands on the glacier there, so people can get our and walk on the glacier which is reported to be more than a mile deep.  Returned to the MH and took a much needed nap.  Tomorrow we go to Seward to go out whale watching, should be a fabulous day.  As I write this it is midnight her, 4am for you folks and we still have the sun out, this is the hardest thing to get used to, the midnight sun.  More tomorrow after our exploits.  Peace and tranquility to all.

The road house, a trapper's one room cabin and the ski plane.

Bobby Flay, get back the Alaskan cook is on the job, tonight it was shishkabob and they were delicious.
