What an exciting day! We went to Aliy Zirkle’s house this morning and had a great visit with her and also got to pet her dogs. The highlight was getting to hold Blue’s 3 ½ day old puppies! How precious! Aliy has won the Yukon Quest and finished the Iditarod several times. We’ve known her since 2003 when we stayed in the same B&B as her parents and sister, Kaz. We’re so glad we got to see her while we were here.
Also, we got to meet an Idita-support friend in person—Jan DeNapoli. We’ve known her via the Internet for years; now we can put a face to the name. She also mushes so we got to meet her dogs, too. What a treat! Her dogs we so personable that they gave us lots of laughs. And Jan herself is someone I feel like I’ve known for years. We also got to meet Jan’s father and Jan’s friends, Kim and Patty. Thanks, Jan, for a great afternoon.
We came back to the campground and washed a couple loads of clothes and also gave the motorhome a good washing. Then around 8:15 PM while we were sitting in the motorhome we heard some horns honking and when we looked out there was a parade of about 12 old cars going up and down the rows between the campers. What a treat.
A couple that stuck out in my (Jerry’s) mind was a 1950 Ford F2 pickup. I learned to drive in one of those on the farm when I was about 9 years old. The other was a 1955 Chevy which was the first car I ever owned. That sure did bring back some great memories.
