May we never take for granted the sacrifices our brothers and sisters have made in defense of our freedom. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth. –Genesis 9:16

Although technically the longest day of the year will fall on the summer solstice on June 21st, we already have 24-hours of daylight. The sun does go down, but it lingers just beneath the horizon and provides enough light […]

If you live in the area or plan to visit Fairbanks, we highly recommend taking any of the cruises they have […]

Here’s Lupine, running wild and free… …and Pete, doing just the same. Pete’s ears have come up nice and sharp. But, Lupine’s ears […]

The strangest thing happened today. As I was making lunch, Joe came in and said there was a goat in the dog yard. I grabbed the camera and we headed out to see what was going on. Sure enough, there was a little white goat on the outskirts of the dog yard near Tikka’s spot. […]

The 2010 Arctic Expedition has officially ended! Over the weekend, I drove up the Haul Road to pick up Joe and the team at the rendezvous point. It was so great to see them. All the dogs looked SO beautiful, their coats lush and bright. Their muscles are solid and they all look incredibly healthy. […]
