Thinking ...

dreaming... reminiscing... about this a lot lately.

Iditarod Trail Invitational

Aproaching Alaska Range

This will be my third year on the course and a special one in that Tracey and I will be traveling to McGrath together. I am looking forward to us sharing this adventure together as I have tried sharing stories and  explaining in the past but words can barely scrape the surface of the actual experince.
Travling to McGrath through the Alaskan wilderness is a wonderful accomplishment on your own or in the company of others.
I think traveling to McGrath is safe enough but dangerous enough. Long enough, but not short. Enough to enjoy but enough to endure. Enough decision making and strategy that it will affect if you finish or not, with or without frostbite. Enough fun and beauty to forget about the tough times. Enough challenges, variety and differences from year to year why not do it again.
With the experinces I have and knowing Tracey's strength, determination, and mental toughness I am sure this will be one unforgetable vacation.

Overland Section - NomeI would love to be attempting Nome again but this is how I stand.
