Brock's Trip







What a good week. Brock arrived on the 27th, very early in the morning, in a blizzard. Welcome to Alaska! It has been so fun to have him here. Fur Rondy started the day he arrived, so it gave me a good reason to check out some of the activities. Running of the Reindeer, Snow Sculptures,



Car shows, and the whole atmosphere of Rondy. It was also the start of the Itidorod. I must say, that was one of the highlights for me. Just being able to be there and get an up close view of the official start was great. There are 68 teams this year and I think each team runs with 16 dogs.



Anyone who thinks running those dogs is cruel, needs to go watch how eager they are to run.



They are really beautiful animals. It was a perfect day weather wise, so that topped the day off.



However, the best part of having Brock visit was just having him here and hanging out. Thanks



Brock. Maybe next time you can come in the summer and fish.
