Made it back to Anchorage

It was a long flight, but both Brian and I are back in Anchorage. It's nice to be back home! The dogs traveled well again. Huge thanks to George at the Boston Logan Airport for all his help with the dogs. It was way easier that I expected. I think the airport part of the whole trip was what worried me the most. Between the crates, the health certs, the water dishes, the extra baggage, the extra baggage fees and all the airline rules it was pretty nerve racking. For example my hooks, those would definitely be considered a weapon, as well as the gang line chain or the chain tool. All are also heavy, so organizing everything is key. Glad that part is over.

So it's 3:30am AK time, but 7:30am back in Daaquam. I have been on a schedule of getting up between 5am and 6 am, which would be between 1am and 2 am here...need to try to reset my clock asap.

Tomorrow Greg and Ed will fly in on the same 2 flights with the remaining dogs. Brian and I will check out the Anchorage trails to see if they are trainable. If they are ok then we'll probably get the dogs out for a stretch.

Brian is already watching the hunting channel here. That's about the only thing that they don't have in Daaquam as far as our t.v. shows. It was interesting to watch everything from The Dog Whisperer to Sponge Bob in French. They basically just take all of our shows and voice over, it was a little bazaar. They did have the Today show and of all things, Dr. Phil in English. There were about 16 channels, of which at least half were hockey all day everyday!

Keep posted for more photos and more race info.
Hopefully we will be racing in Montana Creek this weekend.
