Culinary Memory #4 of My Alaskan Vacation - Mukluk Annies

Cross this beautiful, 1,917 foot bridge (the longest water span on the Alcan Highway) which crosses Teslin Bay in the Yukon, go a few miles further and you will come to Mukluk Annies. This was a great stop for lunch. We had the salmon bake, complete with fresh baked rolls and other sides. We were early and the lunch crowd had not begun to gather. The waitress was a darling Christian girl who chatted with us about her plans to continue her post graduate education in theology. The young man at the grill was a collegiate volleyball player. Mukluk Annies was obviously owned by Christians. It is only open from May or June through the middle of September.










Some words about Teslin: Situated at the confluence of the Nisutlin River and Teslin Lake, Teslin began as a trading post in 1903. Today it consists of a trading post, Catholic church, health center and post office... a curling rink and a skating rink. It has the largest native population and gets its livelihood mostly from traditional hunting, trapping and fishing, along with native crafts., and tanning of moose hides. The average daily temperature in January is -7.

Teslin Lake is 86 miles long, averages two miles across and depth of 194 feet!
