Curry

Today, we’re headed to Curry, a place “up the tracks” from Talkeetna that has been the site of a luxury hotel, a thriving small town, and many homesteaders. Today, only the barest remains of its former glory poke through the forest along the tracks and the river. Join us as we head up the tracks and back in time. Whether you’re an old timer or a newcomer, there’s room under The Blue Tarp for everyone.
