05-03-2025 We have had a lot of truck trouble..
But its going ok now..we all went up for a meal at Egil + Helen Ellis place in Willow, last night..john lived with them for 6 months many years ago..got back late to our hanger..to find our jam/team friends sled and Lance Mackeys there..we have spent a bit of time with Lance who is a real nice guy..Doug arrives today and final packing for the race will be ongoing all day..fiona flew into anchorage late last night..so we are meeting up with her at the iditarod meal tonight..
Colin is doing great..he's been a great help.. his driving over the AK highway Alcan was top class..on the HWay we came across wolfs,moose,coyotes,herds of buffalo..getting here was an adventure!
Now its race time and John has a plan how to attack this race.. Colin is heading for a well earned few days heli sking near here..fiona + alan will stay at the hanger..on standby..then head to Nome
