Weaning ourselves from dog racing..........so go to Alaska!!!!!

Sounds like a plan right???  and spend a month there and see as many races as we can an be handlers for anyone that needs us!!!  

As of right now things are not going to be what we  had hope for with the lack of snow in Anchorage == the Rondy is only going to be a mile long race with only some competitors and one day only -- the Iditarod will have the ceremonial start in Anchoragem but will have the re-start in Fairbanks = based on all of that our current plan (subject to chang without notice........) is to be volunteers for dog handling for the Iditarod, take the dog handler class, go to the meet and greet the competitors and dinner, help at the ceremonial run and then go up to Fairbanks where we have a b and b reserved

so far the trip has not been great - too much luggage to drag around the Chicago airpot and going through 2 security check...........  finally we will get on the plane and sit in our first class seats!!!! (we treated ourselves!!)

more later
