Glennallen

There's different areas it leaves from.

It goes from, like, Glenallen, Chittina...

Copper Center, it picks people up once a day from the popular spots that are outside of McCarthy, essentially.

Or outside, like before McCarthy Road.

Richardson Highway ran from Valdez to Fairbanks.

And this road would take you through Glenallen and it would also take you to Paxton and then Delta and then would take you up to Fairbanks.

But Fairbanks was, you know, in the interior, famous for its ridiculous cold, you know, 55, 65 below and even colder than that.

And generally populated with gold miners.

And compared to Fairbanks, so.

Since then, so there was a highway put in from toke junction all the way to Anchorage.

And, you know, you had this talk cut off between token Glen Allen and then the.

Glen highway was built, so the Glen highway was named after John Glenn.

And this week on the podcast:

The biggest surprise we, we got was I bought a half a gallon of milk at a store in Glennallen, Alaska, which is the hub of Alaska.

I buy like half a gallon of milk, it was $12.50. That was probably the biggest surprise.

In this week's conversation of the week, we're going to talk with Jim and Marsha Badhorn, who just got back from 90 days in Alaska, a trip they planned entirely on their own.
