\nLet me begin this blog by letting you know that there is something wrong with this picture. Yes, this picture right up there\u2026 there is something wrong with it\u2026 can you tell??? Nope, no hints\u2026. won\u2019t do it\u2026\u2026 o.k\u2026. twist my arm why don\u2019t you! It was taken today! In January! This is not what January should look like here in Denali. Maybe April\u2026 nope, definitely not January. This is just plain wrong\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you already know that the weather has been a little crazy as of late. Many of you are colder in the lower 48 than we are here in Alaska!! I\u2019m house sitting for Jeff and Donna this week and I thought for sure that when I woke up on Wednesday I would be in Oz. Winds have been blowing up here most of the week \u2013 with gusts reaching 75 mph in some areas. We\u2019ve lost a few trees\u2026 the roof to a puppy pen\u2026 and various other items that have slid around on the slick surfaces created by the warm temperatures and the rain. Working in the dog yard has become another of Alaska\u2019s dangerous jobs\u2026 good thing Jason\u2019s here to take care of all that outside stuff while I sit here in the comfort of my office. <\/p>\n

So, the weather has not only been wreaking havoc on life up here ~ but a few of the scheduled dog sled races as well. You may have been checking out the blog for an update on this weekends Kuskokwim 300<\/a> race over in Bethel\u2026. well\u2026 that\u2019s another story in itself\u2026so let\u2019s start from the beginning with the Adventures of Jeff & Dave \u2013 and Two Dog Teams:<\/p>\n

Jeff, Dave & Jason headed down to Anchorage on Tuesday with a trailer of 28 dogs.<\/p>\n

Jeff & Dave are well-prepared for their trip to Bethel and both are looking forward to a good weekend\u2026. because really, it has to be better than last years Kuskoswim!<\/p>\n

Wednesday morning comes (quite early mind you since they had a 7am flight) and lo and behold\u2026 dog flight delayed\u2026 people flight canceled\u2026 then people flight rebooked for the afternoon. (It seemed that the weather in Bethel was just awful and a blizzard warning was in effect.)<\/p>\n

So\u2026 the three gentlemen made their way over to Gwennie\u2019s for a nice breakfast\u2026 talked about dogs (go figure..) and then some\u2026 they enjoyed lots of coffee to aid them in perking up since they had gotten up so early.<\/p>\n

Dogs and people head back to the airport\u2026 second cancellation of people flight\u2026 dog plane not fixed yet ~ but a repair appeared to be looming on the horizon\u2026<\/p>\n

Dogs actually take off from Anchorage on their way to Bethel\u2026<\/p>\n

People flight still a no go\u2026<\/p>\n

Jason heads north for the Homestead and drives through rain and snow (hey, that has a bit of a Postal Service ring\u2026) amid the nasty weather all along the way\u2026<\/p>\n

Jeff & Dave have another no go on their people flight to Bethel\u2026<\/p>\n

Jeff & Dave spend another night in Anchorage\u2026<\/p>\n

Awaking early for a second day in a row\u2026 Jeff & Dave arrive at the airport and yes\u2026 yet another cancellation..<\/p>\n

Just as all hope was lost\u2026 o.k. not really\u2026 Jeff & Dave actually board an airplane bound for Bethel!<\/p>\n

And then they wait\u2026 and wait\u2026 but, oh yes! Jeff & Dave take off from Anchorage and head to Bethel.<\/p>\n

That brings us to their arrival in Bethel\u2026 ah \u2013 you see, their adventures are not yet finished\u2026<\/p>\n

To be continued\u2026<\/p>\n

Check back shortly for the second installment of the Adventures of Jeff & Dave \u2013 and Two Dog Teams!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
