We took a trip to the Chena Hot Springs. Sorry no pictures. It started to rain lightly but it felt good because the springs were soooo warm. I think the water temp was 102 degrees. I didn’t want to put this in the last blog as somehow it just didn’t seem fitting, but we stopped off at a meat packing place on our way to the North Pole and bought some reindeer sausage. Not real impressed with it. (Don’t forget to click on the pictures to see them larger and to see them even bigger, click on them again.)
We stopped along the way to view the sled dogs of Susan Butcher and her husband David Munson who still trains them and runs them. Susan was a champion musher, who won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race four times. She died in 2006.

That’s cool you got to see Susan’s dogs. She’s a real legend up here.

Hey mom, you need to delete the uninformed radicals who pester your blog. Leaving it on just gives them a free platform to troll for converts. Although I have to admit I got a good laugh from it. Dogs who are treated cruelly simply do not run their hearts out for their owners.

Wonderful scenery. I loved the dog and the moose pictures. While you were away last week you received your badly needed rain.
