This picture was taken from the hotel parking lot Saturday morning. The way the sun was shining on it made it look like it was lit from within.

A sampling of the scenery on the way to GB Jones' kennel. This is why I am so in love with Alaska!

Hard on the eyes, huh?

All of these shots were taken from the car.

Notice picture of me taking picture!

Names on the wall. My Mom (Sylvia Downs) is on the right. She would be so excited to know her name was up there!

Our names on the top row.

Jerry on left, GB hooking up dogs for a run.

If someone wants to tell me which dog this is, I'll post it.

A nice way to warm up!

I think the black dog on the left is Nick. June, can you fill in the blanks for me?

GB told these two to hold the line taute. They are doing their job well--no use burning any more calories than necessary!

Maybe a little nap is in order here.

I'm ready!

Those dogs are enjoying their rubs. See how they lean into him.

More rubs. These dogs aren't lacking for affection.

A little slow dance, please?

On the back of GB's truck

Again, I need help with the name.

June or Jlona--what is this dog's name? I thought I'd remember.

I knew Jerry wasn't too sure about getting in the sled. So GB asked Jerry to do him a favor and sit on the sled a minute. Then he asked Jerry to swing his legs on the sled to center the weight. Next thing Jerry knew, they were off! He loved every second of it.

Manny, one of GB's handlers, took me out for a ride.

Too far away to see clearly, but this is Jerry and GB.

Jerry got to run 10 dogs!
