Pictures from Alaska

The pictures are large in size. It will take time to download them. If you roll over the thumbnails you will be able to see large picture in the middle window.

I had volunteered to help today from 10:30 till the end at 1 PM, and I think I got the best job! I was a “trail guard.” .. after the re-start I finally met my pilot - Bill Bear! Here we are in Skwentna, about 70 miles down the Iditarod Trail
Here are the pictures of this checkpoint from the last year race, which are generously donated by Ann Morgan (a teacher from Chatham, Ma)
we were met by a snow machine with a sled behind it ...to bed on sled He/she takes off their booties and massages their feet with an ointment, and then makes them some hot food
