Two RV Gypsies rode a jet boat in Talkeetna Alaska

The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers took a 2-hour jetboat adventure tour into the wilderness of Alaska via Mahay's Jet Boat Adventure in Talkeetna, Alaska June 30, 2009
The Wilderness Jetboat Adventure was a two-hour tour that cruised into Alaska's untamed wild land and although still 60 miles away from the great mountain of Denali, the two RV Gypsies got another great view of Denali.
The trip began aboard the "Talkeetna Queen" as it whisked the two RV Gypsies into the heart of the wilderness in comfort. This river jetboat was designed to safely navigate rivers that were previously inaccessible.

New RV friends of the two RV Gypsies, Tina and John. They were so much fun to be with.









Next, the two RV Gypsies took a 1/4 mile leisurely nature walk through a Dena'ina Indian Encampment, a visit to an authentic trapper’s cabin with its original furnishings and a view of how trappers lived in "Bush" Alaska at the turn of the century. Plus a display of raw furs from the local area and a demonstration of trapping methods, and wildflowers and plants that grow in abundance along the river system and learned about the edible plants that were used by the Native Indians for cooking and medicines.


Since there were no cutting tools in those days, the logs were burned to the proper length	Below: Lee Duquette examined the furs of various animals

Below: Mt. McKinley as seen from within 60 miles of it on a cloudy day, but they say this is the view only 30% of visitors are lucky enough to see - but later, the two RV Gypsies got photos with no clouds whatsoever.


Some passengers were unruly and were kicked off the boat to walk the rocky terrain as punishment. JOKE - LOL

Jump into the future (2016) when the two RV Gypsies took Mayhay's Jet Boat Adventure for a second time because family was with them. Although the boat trip was the same of course, the guide's narration and the photos are different. There will be a link at the top of that page to return here so you can see the BELOW SCARE.

go to the next adventure of the two RV Gypsies Stay in the year 2009 as The two RV Gypsies took an Alaska Bush floatplane adventure (this page must be seen because of a Scary surprise when Lee and Karen Duquette were all alone and saw evidence of a drunk bear.)
