We went back to Rose's for breakfast and it was good. We spent some time trying to find a place to stay tonight and then discovered we were almost late for church. We had scoped out a little Assembly of God church Saturday night so didn't have far to go. It was a small congregation and at least five of us were visitors. Not like home church but God is everywhere if we only allow Him to be.
When we left there, we went back to Denali and checked out the sled dog training session but decided against it because it was outdoors and was threatening rain. Down the road we went. We made one stop and took some pictures of Mt McKinley. The mountain was "out" and we think we got some decent shots. We then stopped at the Alaskan Veterans Memorial. It has a concrete pillar for each branch of the armed forces with a memorial plaque for each one. It was a humbling place for me (Ila). Another good place for pictures of the mountain.
We went on to Talkeetna and shared a pizza at Mountain High Pizza Place. It was a real tourist place because of the trains that come in. There were lots of tour buses there to pick up people. It was interesting to watch the people come and go at the pizza place. We think we observed a touch of the "local flavor" there.
We are now in Wasilla and are staying at Pioneer Ridge Bed & Breakfast. We have the Iditerod room. We have two twin beds and one double/queen (?) so we will each have our own "space" tonight. This will spoil us once again but sometimes, that is nice.

Hey Linda.....since Phyllis and Ila obey signs inside of buses, maybe you could post a similiar sign inside your van?
We enjoy reading about all of your adventures through your blog. The pictures are awesome. Glad you are having a great time.
