A little part of each of our hearts now lies in Talkeetna, Alaska, a quaint little town about 2 driving-hours north of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. The word "Talkeetna" is loosely translated as "river of plenty," or, more elaborately, as "place where food is stored near the river". To most residents today, however, it simply means "where three rivers meet" because the town is located at the confluence of three major rivers--the Susitna, Chulitna and Talkeetna—an area deemed "the Big Susitna drainage".http://www.theworldbyroad.com/expedition/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/DSC_0040_edit_thumb.jpg
