We are on the move!!!! Since I got back from the gin Gin the temps have dropped even more. After making my way back out to Eureka with the temps hovering right around -40 I had some decisions to make. Hunker down in Eureka stuck in the cold snap that is suppose to last over a week and loss ground on my training or head south to warmer weather. After spending a day hauling firewood at -40 and spending two nights with 15+ dogs in the cabin, I woke up on Jan 2 (my 29 B-day) to -45 and realized the only decision was to head south to Homer. So I got on the sat phone called my dad who had arrived in Homer 1 day earlier and said we were loading up and on our way, he has a cabin in the Caribou hills just outside of Homer. I called Josh (AKA the HERO) ask him to start a fire in the cabin. Called Mandy, Matt and Thom to ask of they could take care of 10 more dogs at my place in fairbanks taking that number to 25, Not a small Job. Amazingly, Because I have awesome friends and Family, Kyla and I are now in Fairbanks, unloading dogs and Gear and Loading up to head to Homer tomorrow. With a little help from Horst Expediting and Remote Operations I was able to get my water and fuel on auto Delivery so I dont have to worry about the shed freezing up on Mandy, Matt and Thomun while I am gone. A call to my Friend Gary and we have a great place to train dogs in Chugack on the way down so when we fget to homer we can set up for a nice warm trail on some new trails!!! Ill keep you updated as the adventure continues. South Bound at 6am!!
