Is Paris ok?

We are still alive. We made it through the Denali Highway. Top speed for a VERY short time was 30 mph. We are now in Talkeetna. This town supposedly is the basis for the TV show Northern Exposure. We are off to eat at Latitude 62 Restaurant and Bar. (No joke!) Our last brush with the outside world before the Denali Highway was a very small bar/restaurant/store/post office at Paxton Lake. No town within 100 miles, at least. The conversation at the bar between several very burly men was what had happened to Paris Hilton that day, if she was ok after her breakdown, and if her punishment was fair. We just sat and listened. More to come later. And Mom, the poop in the picture is bear poop. Moose poop is like deer poop (pellets), just bigger. Once you are in Alaska you learn that very quick because the moose poop is everywhere.
