Day 46, Thu, Jul 19, 2007, Anchorage, AK

Today we went into town to an RV place and checked out whether we could get the awning replaced. Since there are no Roadtrek dealers around here that we can find, we didn’t hold out much hope. Plus we are having a problem with one of the latches. The place we stopped said to come back Monday and they would look at the latch and see if they could do anything about the awning, but they didn’t sound too promising. We’ll see, I guess.

We then went to the Ulu factory and bought another ulu bowl. We love that ulu knife and bowl. Barbara wanted a second bowl to use strictly for veggies.

The highlight of the afternoon was a stop at the Wildride Sled Dog Show next to the Ulu factory that was hosted by young Iditarod finisher Dallas Seavey. The Seavey’s (long time Iditarod mushing family) put on an hour long fun show that was well worth the $14.00 admission fee. They also have Flapjack in the show who was a star in the movie “8 below”. At the end of the show they let you roam around and pet the puppies and by luck, Dan Seavey, the grandfather who ran the very first Iditarod in 1973 was there and we got to chat with him for a good while. What a treat!

Today it was cloudy. The high was 72 degrees, the low 55 degrees.
Sunrise is 4:59 AM, sunset is 11:10 PM.
