Wal*Mike’s : Trapper Creek, Alaska

in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)

Welcome to Wal-Mike’s, mile 115 on the Parks Highway. This place seems to have just about everything. Socks, anvils, ROCT uniforms, tires, stove pipes. You name it they most likely have it. The stuff they have is over whelming! This was our first visit to the store.
I need to mention this is also someone home, so they have all this stuff at their home-business.
I am going to post a video of Wal-Mike’s separate, this post is already heavy with tourist photos.

This is what Wal*Mike’s looks like as you pull up, heading North on the Parks.

Man this place has just so much stuff!
I will post pictures I took of just the outside.

Anvils, I wasn’t joking. The shipping alone is insanely expensive, so it was shocking to see.

Well why not! They already seem to have everything else just on the outside!

My wife would love that old clawfoot tub.

I wouldnt want to see his price for it, the dude had high prices on everything. Even the stuff outside that is there year round.

Wow, that guy has a bit of everything, eh?
I like that old truck.

Yeah! Crazy the amount of stuff they have in such a small area. I started to get over loaded my all the stuff, there it just to much to look at at once. Over loads the senses.

The truck was pretty cool! Interesting to see plywood on the cab

I thought I put up the picture of the Dodge but I guess I forgot.
