As I mentioned in a previous posting, we visited the quirky
town of Talkeetna on a day trip. As we
started wandering around the town, I couldn’t help but notice the cool signs
posted around the town. I thought I’d
share some with you….
I thought this was a cool storefront – check out the antlers
and the snow shoes!
Isn’t this a quaint sign?
The House of 7 Trees! I’ve heard
of (and read) The House of 7 Gables – somehow, I doubt this is even close to that
book!
Along the Alaska Highway for years and years, there were
little roadhouses found sprinkled along the highway, in between the towns that
existed. These roadhouses offered
travelers gas, food and lodging.
Unfortunately, due to the advancement of time, technology, and yes,
government regulations, many of these roadhouses are now closed. It became just too expensive for them to
remain open, given that there wouldn’t be much traffic during the winter months.
This sign just made me smile. Yes, trek the miles and miles in your snow
shoes to get your share of “spirits”!
Enjoy!
