We traveled from Talkeetna to southwest of Anchorage, with a stop at Wasilla. Carol’s sister, Judy, had spearheaded a short-term mission group a few years ago to go there to help build the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She asked us to get some pictures for her. South of Anchorage we drove the Seward Highway that parallels Turnagain Arm for about 25 miles. This body of water is an extension of Cook Inlet. We spent the night between the highway and a spur of the Alaska Railway, where there was a tourist trap that was closed for the night.
