Killing Time In Talkeetna
My family and I are going to AK towards the end of July. All of us will spending one night in Talkeetna and then the next day we are breaking up to do our own thing for the day/night. Me and my boyfriend will have the rental car. Is there anything fun we can get into in the area…
