Hey neighbors! Here are some pictures Dana just sent me from the mountains above Anchorage.
In Case you hadn’t heard, in Anchorage itself they’ve had a drought just like we have and have NO SNOW! They had to bring snow in by truck just to have enough on Main Street to hold the ceremonial start of the Iditorad. The original event that the team was supposed to participate in, and annual cross country ski marathon that draws competitors from all over the world, actually had to be canceled for the first time this year.
So, the team packed up their stuff and drove a couple hours up into the mountains to find snow to fulfill their goal of putting some miles under their skis in Alaska.
