Delgadillo Visit - Dog Mushing and Skiing

Andrea's parents, Joe and Vickie, came to visit last weekend with Andrea's brother, Mike, and his fiancee, Kristen. We headed out to Willow to go dog sledding with Vern Halter. Vern is a long-time Iditarod musher (best placing 3rd) and his kennel was a professional, well-run outfit. We sledded for about 2 hours; with the temp. hovering around zero, it was about all we could take. The rest of the weekend we x-c skied around Anchorage, hitting the Coastal Trail and the Tour of Anchorage trail.
