Our Alaskiwi Adventure
Joe and I accepted an invite to join Simon, Gareth and Joanne for 3 nights in the White Mountains. The trick was to get the rig to the Wickersham Dome parking lot without breaking the bumper off!
YAAAY we MADE it to the trailhead! |
View from Crowberry Cabin |
Gareth loves sugar |
Last time we were here Lassie and her family were little pups! |

Don't forget Jasper! |
BYE CROWBERRY! |

BYE WHITE MTS! |
Simon took Joanne for afternoon mushing lesson the day before, and mushed out for home while we went by snow machine to our waiting vehicles |
the solution for a badly cracked bumper?? We'll see |
pinup girl under the truck hooks the ratchet strap |
Jazzy gives his sniff of approval |
The finished product. Will it make it the 38 miles home??? |
Therein lies the adventure... |
Jasper says: LET'S GO! |
And we made it back to Kiwi Castle and the Royal Fruitcake made from scratch by Simon's Mother and sent all the way from Christchurch, New Zealand |
Boys and dogs earn a well earned rest before the New Year's Eve fireworks |
HAPPY 2013 FROM FAIRBANKS!! |
