I flew out the 18th, to spend some time with the Nelsons back in Utah. And let me say: if any of you readers ever get a chance to bob sled...do it. It has all the thrills of a roller coaster without that annoying feeling of "safety" you get from being attached to a track.
Thats Kevin, myself, Mandy Moo, and the man that made it possible, John.

Back in AK and back to serious business. Alaska in winter is two things...Cold, and Dark. That means you need some boos and good friends. Peter and Anali, Rachel, Tyler, and Ben.
Lots of poker, lots of ice climbing, and lots of skiing. On another note, I have finally achieved employment, roofing...in Alaska...in the winter...and as soon as I swore off a week of roof top work at a brisk -5, I found myself spending my weekend holding two ice axes atop a frozen waterfall with my fingers and toes losing any and all sensation. Must have something to do with short term memory loss...
