Stuck in Seward...

Road conditions were less than ideal today so I didn't make it to Anchorage.
Stuck in Seward, what's a girl to do? Well, plenty if it's snowing!
Dave's girls went out for a skate ski this afternoon. We did the 8.6 miles out to the visitor center and back (17.2 miles / 2.75 hours = 6.25 miles/hr). I think I'm going to be really sore tomorrow. I ski-jored with Emma most of the way out (don't be fooled! it's still a workout!) and then used my own fat power coming back. We saw 2 other skate skiers, 7 snowmachiners and a really nice mushing team!! I think it might have been Dan Seavey Sr. but I can't be for sure. They stopped and said hi and said I didn't have to pull over everytime they passed. Looks like they were training some young dogs while pulling an ATV.


Emma cooling off

Exit Glacier on the upper left, covered in snow.
Patti & Em - looks a little different than this summer, huh?

here they come!

they're so fast, they're blurry!

some folk's ride

this is my ride

We made it out to the visitor center... now we have to make it back.

the snow started to come down hard and darkness settled in
race against night falling.
night won this time.
