On the road again.....

Up and fed and dropped dogs and on our way by 12:30 - stopped in Wasilla to "Underdog Feed" owned by J.P. Norris and bought yet another "dog food" for the 2 picky eaters, this time tripe and liver........

called Stitt's (originally from Hesperia, near us) when we got to Willow and MIke came to pick us up after we fed - had a lovely dinner of German chop suey and blue berry pie along with the other dinner guest, Bob Klupach - a long time resident and musher, also having done the Iditarod - took a tour of MIke's including the Highlander calf they have, 2 cows and 3 pigs - strangely enough the other day they tried to put the calf in with the pigs to get it out in the nice weather and the pigs attacked it!!!

we did look at a piece of property of 15 acres and a small cabin for sale by Lavon Barve with access to the trails that Stitt's use with Greg Sellentin from Mushing Magazine, but they want $75,000 - not this year....

Back to the truck at the community center in Willow for the nite then up early to get up to Fairbanks in time for the draw and driver's meeting. Talk to you later!!

Note to self...pigs don't like Highland calves. I guess if they work in AK, I don't need to worry about ours note having shelter in MI. Love you!
