I’m challenging myself to come up with 365 things to do in the Mat-Su Valley. I’m not sure I can do it by myself so I’m asking for help.

If we all enter in I’m sure that we will find enough by the end of 2011.

I’ll start it out today…I’m going to need all the help I can get to come up with 365 different things to do. We won’t quit at 365 if enough people help. Keep it clean and keep it positive. It’s OK to advertise a valley business this way as long as it adds to the activities.

Here we go:

1. Go Cross Country Skiing at Hatcher Pass
2. Go Snowmachining at Willow
3. Fish at Eklutna Tailrace
4. Watch High School Basketball
5. Hunt rabbits by Trail Lake
6. Shop at gun shows
7. Watch the Iditarod

    Ride your bike on the new bike path from Palmer to Bodenburg Loop, then around the loop and back. Fabulous scenery–be sure to take your camera and binoculars!
