More Iditarod photos from yesterday
Here are some more photographs taken on March 9. I have more that I haven’t processed yet. Temperature got up to above zero during the afternoon but still pretty windy. I had to bring the camera in after the morning as the cold was affecting pretty much everything electronic. I’ll try and get out today… Continue reading More Iditarod photos from yesterday

The first teams started arriving yesterday evening. One had already arrived by the time I got off work. The picture above is the second one in.

Galena Sheefish Triathlon
Galena style triathlon The weather cooperated today for the Galena Sheefish triathlon. This triathlon consists of canoeing, biking and running. We had a fair amount of wildfire smoke but at least the mosquitoes weren’t too bad. Hope you enjoy some of the photo’s I took of this event.
2022 Iditarod in Galena
The first mushers have started to arrive in Galena for the 2022 Iditarod. I was able to get out last night as Dallas Seavey was heading in. They only stayed in the checkpoint for a few minutes before heading down the trail. I want to get this post out now and I plan to head… Continue reading 2022 Iditarod in Galena
Back in Galena
Long flight home The weather in Arkansas was warm and sunny when I headed back to Galena. I graduated from crutches to a cane before I headed back so getting around was a little easier. I knew that Fairbanks was going to be a lot colder but I really didn’t want to wear heavy winter… Continue reading Back in Galena

Yesterday there was a significant amount of driftwood in the river and a fair amount of ice mixed in. The river seemed to be mostly clear of drift today but that normally… Continue reading First Barge of 2021
Yukon River Breakup in Progress
Shortly after my last post the ice on the river here at Galena moved far enough for the tripod to fall. I didn’t go near the river till Monday morning so I wasn’t aware of it until I was running in to work. I stopped long enough to take a couple of pictures with my… Continue reading Yukon River Breakup in Progress
Springtime is here
Breakup time is getting close I haven’t posted since moose season, partly because there wasn’t a lot of opportunity to get out. Travel in and out of town, and most other activities were restricted all winter. Vaccines are here and at last count about 80% of eligible residents received their shots. We aren’t back to… Continue reading Springtime is here
Running in the snow again
It warmed up considerably on Monday, it wasn’t too cold at about -2F but the overnight snowfall made the run it a little challenging. We got somewhere between 6 and 7 inches total over the weekend. The road in to work had not been plowed by the time I left so the run in was… Continue reading Running in the snow again
