We made a brief stop in Talkeetna.  The cat in the inset photo is the mayor here.  Apparently, the good citizens of Talkeetna were fed up with local government and elected Stubbs in a landslide write-in vote.  He's been mayor for nearly 15 years.<br />

We also passed through Wasilla.  It was a bit overcast when we arrived, so, unlike Sara Palin, we couldn't see Russia.
