Iditarod Restart At Willow March 9th, 2010
Siberian Huskies
Our family went up to watch the Iditarod Race start at Willow on Sunday. We met several other families at the same point we congregate at every year. With the fire already started and hot dog sticks cut we were ready for the first dog team to come on by which
Linwood Fiedler
He was ushered by by several snowmachines pacing the first musher on the trail.
We enjoyed watching all the teams come by, they were running well at that point only about 10 miles into the race. The mushers were in good moods and high-fived all the kids standing by the trail.
With 71 dog teams, hundreds and maybe thousands of snowmachines, constant airplanes and helicopters it certainly wasn’t a quiet day in the wilderness, but fun nevertheless and has become a family tradition for all the families and cousins. It was nice to visit with friends that we don’t get to often see and such a relaxed setting while waiting for the next team down the trail. For a taste of the day, watch the video below.

Canadair Ducks At The Palmer Airport July 27th, 2009
Had to stop and take a photo of the two “Ducks” at the Palmer Airport. Every summer there is a regular air force at the Palmer airport. They have a lot of cool planes. I don’t know what they all are but I like them.
I’ll have to try to get photos of them all. I think the two in the photo are fire bombers that can scoop up water from lakes on the fly and drop it on the fires.
Pioneer Peak Over Palmer Alaska June 29th, 2009
I was on my way home from putting up signs this evening and saw this view. If you look close, there are two rainbows.
Alaskan summers…so nice.
King Salmon Fishing At Eklutna Tailrace June 16th, 2009
I was on my way home from Anchorage yesterday and was a little early for an appointment in the Butte so I stopped off to see what was happening at the Eklutna Tailrace.
It was a beautiful day to be fishing. I didn’t see any fish but talked with a some people who said there were a few rolling. The action wasn’t hot but the weather certainly was. I think it was close to 75 degrees without a hint of wind.
The cool think about this fishing hole is that there is great handicap access. A wheelchair bound person can wheel right to the waters edge and fish…they chose one of the best fishing spots for the wheel chair as well.
Wasilla Tea Party April 16th, 2009
The Wasilla Tea Party was extremely well attended yesterday. There were close to 1,000 people at the event in the middle of the afternoon. That’s pretty good for a small town. Here are a few photos:
There were some Ron Paul Supporters:
It was at the Wasilla Lake Park at the corner of the Parks Highway and Crusey Street. The photo below expresses the general feeling of the crowd.
Don Young showed up to give a speech and there was also an open mike for people to have their say. Looks like this will likely be an annual event.
