The Trail Breaker

It's soon that time of year again, for those of you who like to follow "The Last Great Race". This year I will be able to see the Ceremonial Start on 4th Street, Downtown, live and in person! The statue of "Balto" is a short half a block walk from my front door.
Among the links below is "Zuma's Paw Prints". The kids will really enjoy that.
Warm Hugs from Anchorage where tonight's temp will be near Zero!
