Welcome

Well, this is my first post on my first blog... I finally got the photo to upload... that's my dad. He's almost 80 and he does an awesome job driving a dog sled. He didn't even start mushing until 1999 (when he was 71 years old). He is quite the animal lover (thank goodness for him because I have a lot of them!) In fact, we have a new dog and I think she should be named Velcro because she just won't leave dad's side. She seems to have bonded with him and doesn't like him to be out of her sight. It's quite cute.

Well, we hope you like our blog, and hopefully I'll be able to post here fairly often with updates on our crazy life here in Alaska.

Spring is definitely on it's way, but I think it has been taking some side trips. Although, in Prudhoe the birds are coming. We've been seeing the arrival of the Greater White Fronted Geese, Tundra Swans and others... so that should be enough evidence that spring really is on it's way. Hopefully the King Eiders and Loons will be here soon, so we can enjoy watching them.

Foxes will be having babies soon, the Musk Ox are just now delivering their newborn babies, and the grizzlies are up and around already.

Now, if I can catch the Caribou migration across the slope and the Polar Bears when they are waiting for the sea ice to come in.... it'll be a nice summer.

Happy Trails...
