In 2002, we fell in love with Alaska and purchased property near Fairbanks. Our Alaska log home was built in 2003 by Bill Kisken of Log Weavers here in Fairbanks. Bill is an artist, who uses the hand scribed Swedish cope system. Notice how tightly the logs fit at the ends, this is very diffucult to achieve. We retired in 2013, and moved our residence to Alaska.

Iditarod 2011

Here is a nice video of Aliy Zirkle near Nikolai on the 2011 Iditarod. She is having an excellent run this year. At the moment, she is resting her team at Shaktoolik before going out on the sea ice protion of the route. This is often the defining moment for dog teams as they have to deal with the totally different environment of the sea ice.
