Alaska Tour & Travel (www.alaskatravel.com or 907-245-0200) manages the Park Connection bus which offers daily service between Anchorage and Talkeetna beginning Thursday, May 12.   The bus departs the Dena'ina Center at 3:00 PM, arriving at the Talkeetna Alaska Lodge at 5:30 PM.  Due to permitting, they CANNOT pick up from the airport.  This is a great option for people arriving Thursday who are not attending the Assembly to get to the Lodge the night prior to start of the convention.  Cost is $70 per person, one way.
