Yesterday arvo went on a nice long ride with Billy and Bob ' the builder' Ostrom along the Anchorage trail- fully loaded for a final gear check- followed by a dinner at the European B&B where Irene went head to head with the Italian delegation in Sphagbol showdown.. it's now time for an abbreviated taper. 
As it happened- today is also the start of the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous- and the sled dog races.
Abit of history
Celebrating the traditions of the Last Frontier, Anchorage Fur Rendezvous is the social event of the year! The time-aged tradition dates back to the early 1900s when trappers and miners emerged from Alaska's wilderness to trade, socialize and compete in survival-type games. Prizes were awarded for the longest fox, the best fox and finest ermine pelts, and the event was officially named Fur Rendezvous in 1937. For more

This is my third attempt at posting a comment, maybe there is an idiot filter in place or in my case the filter is not needed.
Anyway, I am enjoying the comments very much and the many pictures, I forgot what camera you were going to use but in any case it works. All this apres ski in reverse (avant ski ?) merriment will soon come to an end and the real fun will begin (already) . In case you survive questions will be asked... (gear)
