Last Day in Alaska

Yesterday, we went on a real sternwater riverboat down the Chena. On the way, we got to see the home of Susan Butcher. She won the Iditarod many times and died of leukemia a few years back. Her husband and daughters still take care of the dogs and put on a show for the riverboaters. They tied the dogs to an old 4 wheeler with no engine and had them pull it around a big loop while we watched from the riverboat.

We also stopped at a native village on the cruise and saw how the native people used to live. One lady made native clothing and beadwork and also fileted a salmon in under a minute. It was very neat!

We leave tonight for Minneapolis at 9:40 and arrive in Fargo around 10am tomorrow morning. Hope we get some sleep on the plane!

We will see all of you soon! Thanks for reading!
