It doesn’t matter how long you’ve lived here or how many times you’ve seen her, Denali never fails to elicit such awe and excitement! This weekend didn’t start out very good, weather-wise – but by Sunday, we got the full view right outside our front door!
The cabin we rented this time was right on the Susitna River. Such a gorgeous locations – I’m sure it’s really nice in the summertime! We just might have to go back when the fish are running. Inside the cabin was warm & toasty, with a gas fireplace and a small kitchenette. They said there was a grille and a picnic table outside, but it was buried under 4 feet of snow – so we just made do with the electric skillet and crock pot for our meals.
Bryan worked on his fly tying, getting ready for Pike season. I (as usual) worked on some cards and got caught up on my letter writing. I realize this is just a repeat of the last fifteen weekend get-aways, but honestly we look forward to them so much and thoroughly enjoy our time together. I would prefer to have had my kittens with me, but they did just fine at home with Grandma.
And since you can’t go to Talkeetna and NOT go to the local brewery, we of course went TWICE! Once for lunch at the Brewery itself, and a second time at the Brewpub downtown for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the main brewery; they’ve really spruced up the place since our last visit. They even have a wood-fired pizza oven now! I opted for a kale salad and a blueberry mojito, while Bryan had a bowl of chili and a flight of their tasty beer.
I enjoy reading about your getaways!
