Back to Anchorage

Yesterday we headed back to Anchorage after a wonderful stay at Cast Aways.  The scenery on the drive back was beautiful. The weather has been wonderful.  Even though the temperature was 19 degrees, we were outside taking photos without jackets.

We stopped at a wildlife rehabilitation facility where we saw caribou, a brown bear, musk ox, wood bison, brown bear cubs, and more moose.

Last night we attended the Mushers Banquet where we met most of the mushers including Newton Marshall, the Jamaican Dog Sledder, and Lance Mackey who will be going for his 5th consecutive win.

Tomorrow will be an early morning for us.  We have to be at the starting line at 6 am to scan dogs for the ceremonial start.

More Later...
