This is The Blue Tarp, stories from Alaska’s Northern Susitna Valley as told by those who lived them. Today, we’ll hear stories from people for whom even Talkeetna was too crowded. Instead of the hustle and bustle of the booming metropolis of Talkeetna, they opted to live in the communities further north alongside the Alaska Railroad, or, as the locals call it, Up The Tracks. Whether you’re an oldtimer or a newcomer, there’s room under The Blue Tarp for everyone.
