I'm Back


All too soon my time in Texas came to an end. Landing in Anchorage late Thursday night the cooler temps felt refreshing after the "heat" of Texas. Spent the night in a 40 dollar motel room as I needed to pick up some new skis at REI the next day. Not sure what this says about me but I seem to sleep better in the cheap places. When Max and I travelled to Montana a few years back we stayed in one 24 dollar room in Fort Collins, Colorado. Definitely not the Ritz, but adequate. And you seem to get a more interesting mix of neighbors.

Made it to the cabin by noon on Friday. While I had been forewarned it was still a shock to see the snow melted off the roof and deck and the driveway a solid sheet of ice. Guess I'll have to be extra careful till spring. Great to see the mutts and be back in my own space.

Unfortunately my camping trip was cancelled due to a friends water heater blowing up. Since I didn't find out till late, my sled was already packed. Will try to schedule something later this week or weekend. Got to try out the new skis!

Was mid 20's yesterday so I was surprised this morning to find the temp was sitting smack dab on zero.

It's too bad I didn't get a chance to see you on your return to the Lone Star State. Well, I guess untill March. I'm very excited to see what is so extrodinary about those snow capped mountains of yours.
