Dog team leaving the Galena checkpoint

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

Dog team arriving at the Galena checkpoint during Iditarod 2024

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.

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

Iditarod Comes to Galena

Sled dogs at the Galena checkpoint

Iditarod and other news Of course we all know what is dominating the news cycle lately. Not going to perpetuate that issue. I’ve been continuing with my run training. I still kind of have a hard time getting out and running at -30F but I’ll get there. Lynn and I had to cancel our trip… Continue reading Iditarod Comes to Galena

Springtime in Galena

The weather has started warming up here. We had a fairly normal winter this year with -50℉ or so as the lowest temperature. Just cold enough to prevent us from using our propane for a while. Assuming we don’t have any sudden long cold spells for the rest of this year we still have firewood… Continue reading Springtime in Galena

The year without winter

Iron Dog came and went and although most years the weather has been close to -40F during the race I don’t think it got below 20F during the whole thing. We also haven’t had much… Continue reading The year without winter
