We have arrived in Talkeetna after an awesome journey here with our driver, Cliff Cloud. I learned more in a two hour period of time than I have in months. I learned that with a Glock 10 you can kill the burglar as well as your neighbor with the same shot. He is also the proud owner of a 60lb fossilized sloth’s toenail.

Other great Cliff’isms will be shared throughout the duration of the trip.

We’re staying at the Fireweed hotel which is one of the coolest bed and breakfasts I’ve ever been too. They made us an incredible dinner to help maximize our caloric intake pre-mountain. I’m sure that we’ll be wishing we could eat it again soon enough.
