It finally warmed up here around the 10th or 11th. Just in time for me to start working again. I subbed at the library or the school every day from then until this past Saturday. It's been busy. As you may have known, the Yukon Quest came through Dawson not this past weekend but the previous one. I volunteered at the concession and at the vet shack though not much exciting happened during either shift. At the concession I was able to follow the news of our two local mushers having to backtrack back to Fortymile due to a snowstorm obscuring the trail dangerously. They had to stay quite awhile along with a third musher. But they eventually got through and I took the grade 8s down to the dyke to see them leave on Monday morning last week. Cor dropped out of the race shortly after leaving Dawson; the rumour is that his dogs just weren't into it anymore....it's too hard to arrive at home after 500 miles of race and then tell them they have to keep going. But Anne did keep going. And she finished Saturday morning in 13th place. I'm so happy for her. What an accomplishment. Lance Mackey may have won the race for the 4th year in a row, which is amazing, but just to have finished the gruelling journey of the Yukon Quest, which began in -50 C temperatures and threw snowstorms and other hurdles at them is a feat to be extremely proud of!!!
Another fun thing that happened here this week was the eclipse. I hope you all were in a situation to see it. Scott picked me up from work and we took the sled up the second dome to the fire tower. We were the first ones there and got to watch the cars getting stuck in the snow trying to go up to the Midnight Dome. But a group of folks showed up shortly thereafter where we were and we all looked and looked for the eclipse that was supposed to be taking place but could see nothing but a low cloud cover hanging just above the mountains in the direction the moon was supposed to be in. After awhile the other folks had given up and left and a couple of other skidoos had arrived but were staying with their machines as opposed to coming over to where the cabin and the little lookout platform are. So we decided to wander over to our own skidoo and lo and behold: there it is, I can't really say in all its glory as it was small and faded due to the cloud cover but it was orange and it was there. We didn't stay for much longer as it was very windy up there making it much colder. But we got to see it finishing up on the way home from our side of the river. It was beautiful. And the little skidoo adventure was well worth it, especially after having been limited to the indoors for so long during that cold snap.
Anyways, I have to tell you that the days are gettng longer and it's wonderful. We're not fooling ourselves though, winter is still far from over here. Even if the -20 to -30 range feels almost balmy after -50, Spring doesn't really arrive until break-up which is 2 months away yet. But for now I'll take the sun in all it's glory, At this point of the winter we're all in need of a good dose of Sol's warm rays.
Hope you are all well and happy.
