This town is terminally cute!

So driving into this town, you are treated to phenomenal views of the Talkeetna River, Chulitna River and Denali all screaming down upon you. It only gets better, as this town is truely "summer camp for adults".

There is only one radio station in town, which I lived across from, and locals come and an spin their fave tunes. The music in this town is top notch!

Yes, this picture is of my neighbors, who lived in an old Alaskan Railroad card... the summer is warm enough to support it!
