Alaskan Adventures

This is my life on the Denver Glacier just outside of Skagway, Alaska. I am a handler at this dog camp. I have been around dogs my whole life, and have been running sled dogs for about 10 years. I will try to write when I am in town, but that is only day a week. Hope you enjoy my blogs. Later..........

Stuck In Town

Watch out AIE is in town.  Hullo. I made in down this morning at around 9 am this morning.  I flew down this morning on the first dead head.  So I got in early.  I was on the phone for 1 hour before I even got in the shower.  I kept getting told to take a shower by everyone who was down here.  This week was pretty good.  We had 3 half-weather days so it was a slower week.  Got lots of rest in so fell great.  We are watching Wedding Crashers.  Curtis and Katie are going to Juano to the glacier to help out for a few weeks.  There have been so problems there and they are short staffed so they are going to help out.

I am still in town.  Stuck in more like it.  We are weathered down.  Last night we went to the Skagway Brewing Company “Brew Co”. Got some dinner and the most of then went to the Red Onion “RO” Cori and I went back to the trailer and Chris and Cherease came back soon after.  The weather is rainy and chilly.  My roommates and I laugh at each other almost every morning.  Cuz the first ones in the morning give the weather report to the one who are still in bed.  The report goes like this sometimes.  It is clear to paradise, that is how the helicopters get to us, it is chill, not cold chilly, they is a 5,000 ft ceiling and it is doing all three, meaning raining, snowing, and sleeting. To you that means nothing, to us that means what to expect for the day.  So much happens during the week but this is about all I can think to tell you now.  Talk to you all next week.

Just sitting outside, reading your blogs to Alan. It is so nice to be able to talk/read about your life so often. Am really happy that the Verizon works from there to here. I had my first Chem class today.Guess what? I am still alive. One day down, only 19 more to go. It has been very windy here. Do you get alot of wind there? Gotta run, Chem books are waiting...Love you Rache! mom

-was so happy to get your pictures. BUT, I can't help it, when I saw YOU, (on those 2 picture "unloading dogs") my eyes filled with tears. What an ABSOLUTELY wonderful experience you are having on the glacier. I just hope that you can do this (want to) every summer. We are all SO PROUD of YOU---or have I mentioned that before???????Am printing off all of them. And so GREAT hearing your voice. We love you---so much--and so happy that you are not forgetting about us. Have fun,
make new friends, you'll go far in this world.
Love You, Grandma & Grandpa
