<\/a>You know what they say about the men in Alaska - The odds are good - but the goods sure are odd!<\/p><\/div>\n
We arrived at the depot with plenty of time of course- see:traveling with perpetually early to everything people (Love you Mama!)
\n
<\/a>Made it! With just an HOUR to spare! <\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
Though there was a bit of worry because the Lodge, which was to bring down our luggage, was late in getting there – but they too arrived and we still had 20 minutes or so to spare before the train arrived from Anchorage, to pick up our Talkeetna group.<\/p>\n
<\/a>All Aboard!<\/p><\/div>\n
Once aboard, after confirming that I did, indeed, look pretty fucking fabulous<\/p>\n
<\/a>Yup - no ill effects from Holly's Margarita's to be seen!<\/p><\/div>\n
We were off for the longest bit of the train ride, to Fairbanks! We saw a lot of interesting things – like this sign by the emergency windows, which made us laugh and laugh and laugh…<\/p>\n
<\/a>Remove yer rubbers!<\/p><\/div>\n
We saw Sherman City Hall, where the Shreman’s stepped out to wave at us..<\/p>\n
<\/a>Look Ethel! Tourists!<\/p><\/div>\n
We crossed over the Susitna River Bridge, which was built in 1921 and is a whopping 504 feet long…<\/p>\n
The Indian River – which is green because of copper deposits. we crossed this one over and over and over again – 4 times in all. <\/p>\n
