For our next adventure in Alaska we headed a bit south to Talkeetna, a small artistic, outdoorsy, and creative town that is known for its unique mayor, historic charm, and as the “Gateway to Denali.” We spent a couple days enjoying local coffee and food, wandering around town, learning about birch syrup, and Adam even tried fly fishing for the first time in Alaska!

Awesome video as always guys! As someone who fly fishes often, the only tip I could gave you for fly fishing is to cast up stream and have a nice controlled drift until your line becomes straight then restart the process. Try euro nymphing it’s the simplest form of fly fishing. Hope that helps! Thank you guys for all the enjoyable videos.

@davelancaster2066
@davelancaster2066 Год назад
Hire a guide for one day. Invaluable! Also good advice to use nymphs and cast upstream at a 45 degree angle and let it drift naturally keeping the slack out of your line. Thanks for sharing your videos.

I drove into Talkeetna and had to stop.in front of Nagley's grocery store because there was the then grocery store cat,Gemini, was sleeping in the middle of the street. This is when.I knew it was my kind of town and have been living here ever since.

I wanna say thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us! My Mom and I started watching you both after I suggested we "travel" to the 63 National Parks in the US after watching the Kentucky Derby. I purchased National Parks picture book, and started there in Kentucky. While looking for videos, we stumbled on the both of you! So, we mapped out our adventure preferably looking for your uploads of the destinations. Loved all of them and the way you enthusiastically delivered on the experience! In fact, every time we viewed one of your videos my 84 year old Mom would say, "That's our couple! That's our couple!" Thank you again for making these available especially for ones with limited mobility and circumstances! Btw, we just completed all 63 visits...but now we can go back and view the State Parks and foodies that you have posted! So much fun!

We haven't visited all the National Parks, but we did just visit our 47th the other day (although we don't have a RU-vid video for all of the parks we've been to). Thank you so much again for sharing that! It makes us feel really good to hear that we could provide joy! Thank you for watching!

Great job on the video. We were in Talkeetna in October 2022 as part of a two week trip for our Anniversary. We flew into Anchorage from Florida with our two dogs and rented a Class C for our first nine nights and we stayed over a night. Even though some of the locations were closed after the season, we really loved the town. t is great to see familiar locations in your videos. We did spend a night in Riley Creek in a free campsite. They have eight free campsites out of season. We are planning a trip from Florida to Alaska in 2024 in out class A RV. We plan to bring our towed and our electric bikes. We are binge watching your videos and they have been very helpful for our planning. As it it turns out our journey kinds of mirrors you. In fall of 2023 we will spend three plus weeks exploring Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The following year to Alaska. We want to be able to explore with our cameras. Can you share information about your backpack? The attachment for the camera on the front is interesting. Is the backpack waterproof/resistant?

I love going to Talkeetna with you. We did not go to the Birch Place. I was blown away by how fast the water and cold the river was. We did the many of the things you did. I would recommend you Talkeetna zip line. We walked suspension bridges from one zip line to the next and even did a bit of rappelling. It was so cool going through the canopy of the forest and seeing Denali from the zip line. I absolutely love your videos and the joy you have exploring and with each other. We also went in June the year before COVID.

@@AdventuresofAplusK , RV with Tito has been here this summer too and since i had seen his videos on what he did for his solar, I wanted to compare notes on how his solar was working up here because we have the lower sun angles and I built my system on the idea of what most do down in the lower 48, his biggest take away on how his system was working this far north was that his panels were producing up to 20 hours a day which he had never seen before. Something I took for granted. BTW, great video today at the Matanuska Glacier. And thanks for not making me one of the only ones who noticed the lunar landscape. If they were to fake a moon landing, they could do it there! ;-)

When you go back to Alaska (and you will - we have been four times), go in either September or May - great weather and no mosquitos!!!!

My wife and I went on a tour of Alaska in 2003 and stopped in Talkeetna. We thought it was really a neat town and wanted to go back when we could go on our own. We did go back in 2018 and found that Talkeetna had grown and was a bit different than we had remembered it. Still neat but not the same as we had remembered. We did find a new favorite place though. A very small ( I mean small) place just inside Alaska from the Yukon. It is called Chicken. Summertime population is 30 people and winter pop. is 5. Really neat place. We panned for gold in chicken creek. We only found a few flakes but still very exciting. A trip well worth taking. Our round trip from Michigan to Alaska and back was eight weeks on the road and 11,465 miles. Whew!!!

Guys, I'm really enjoying your vlogs from Alaska. Thanks for doing them. I'm 64 years old and live in Fort Worth. Alaska is my last state of the 50. I need to get there soon. My wife and I are not cruise people, but the only cruise we've talked about is possibly to Alaska. We also will not be driving that far, so it's cruise or fly. You're showing us so far that I think flying in and doing the interior might be what we would enjoy the most. Best Wishes and Hi to Kona.
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK Год назад
That's awesome! Alaska has been amazing and I'm sure y'all will love it! A cruise would provide breathtaking scenery, I'm sure. The interior of Alaska is awesome in its own right, but wait until you see our videos from the Kenai Peninsula...we are very excited to showcase that area. Thanks for watching!

Y'all have the best videos, my wife and I really enjoy following along on your adventures. Just a quick tip for your fishing adventure... fish a nymph and fish it on the bottom. Don't be afraid to try something bright and flashy and if you aren't getting any hits, try adding some weight just above your fly to get it deeper in the water column. Can't wait to see you finally hook one!

Great video as always. Now we have to try Birch syrup. Adam only fly fishing advice is in June you want to match the hatch, see what bugs are around. In a faster moving creek you want to use a dropper rig. In June, yellow sally if they are coming up to the surface. Watch for slow pools where they hang out. Float a foam fly and tie a zebra midge or other midge. Best of luck.

We were in Talkeetna the 3rd week of May 2022 in the middle of the week. Unfortunately there was very little that was open at that time, only maybe 20% of the businesses were open, so we were very disappointed. We had seen so many great videos of the town. Nagleys store looked so interesting on the videos but was very small and dull but we did get to meet the Mayor. We also got to see Mt. Denali in it's entirety and got great pictures of it. The shop keepers were very nice but I wish we had be able to go a little later in season when everything was open. Thanks for the great video.
