Skate-Skiing Chicken Video Coming to YouTube

Rumor has it that a certain chicken coop in Alaska is busy with preparations for competing in the 2010 Winter Chicken Olympics. Skate-Skiing(see video below) will be the chosen sport for these brave chickens. Coach Lucy was not available for comment.

Rumor also has it that a world-premier on YouTube will highlight these versatile birds. Who says chickens aren't competitors. Marie, hearing of this amazing feat said, "It a Chicken!"



The only question now is who will sponsor and equip these brave birds?

Nice dog

that's a good looking dog

Rain- is the pup I'll be dog sitting with the option to own.

She is a wonderfully sweet Borzoi; which is a Russian Wolfhound. In other words a winterized greyhound. The perfect cabin dog, a 40 mph couch potato, now if only I had a couch!

and for everyone who thinks I shouldn't have a dog because I travel too much, no worries.. I've got that covered. Her previous owners are more than happy to take her.

quintessential comparisons....

Shane this one is for you... jordan snapped this photo at our lunch stop.. and i couldn't help but think of our quintessential lucy and shane photo martin took up in Denali! lucy and shane = kindred spirits in the human world.. lucy and tessa = kindred spirits in the split world! : )

what you really want.. the girls..

okay.. so jordan and i were putting some finishing touches on the coop the other week.. we found this SWEET sign in Rich's yard.. shh.. he doesn't know we used it. We decided it would fit appropriately on the coop.. and afford a wonderful name for the girls home. I think they like it, do you?

this is a good one..

So, it happened a few weeks ago, however it's a good one..


After an amazing weekend in Seward hiking Mt. Marathon.. i came back to the cabin where jordan found me about 2 min. later on the porch relieving myself.. surprised i jumped from the loo. We both then got this bright idea to canoe Portage River to the mouth at the Inlet.. then bike back to the car.. long story short.. water level FAR TO LOW.. he and i well, after portaging over two moose ponds which we miss took for the river only made it about 1/4 of a mile down the river to the nearest roadside. Here's a few photos..





Classic .. stuck on a rock .. AGAIN.. oh yea.. this was fun!








Plus one SWEET photo of me.. this was taken just as we were trying to roll the canoe off the rock.. tricky!
