Hi Folks,
While it is a bit premature to call it spring at all here with still 4feet of snow on the ground. The days are longer and today fairly warm at +25 or so.
Tonight the last great race, the Iditarod is going to crown its winner sometimes in the middle of the night. The two front runners are less than 30minutes apart in the final 75miles. It could shape up to be a very close finish.
Tomorrow our local winter festival known as Beaver Round Up starts. Yes BRU is the official name and you can post whatever jokes you like about it. Where we have our own smaller dog races, among many other activities and events.
In Anchorage, where they hold the festival known as Fur Rendezvous. Where they did the first annual running of the Reindeer right in downtown Anchorage, apparently over 1,000 people participated but no gorings were reported.
While we may get another stretch of below zero weather before winter finally breaks here, Alaskans are getting ansy about the onset of spring. I cant wait to catch some salmon.
