Cantwell, here we come!

Spent the evening last night readying the sled, packing the drop bag and just getting last minute details in order. Jodi and I are off today around 5pm to make the drive to Cantwell, with a stop at a great guy's place, Andi Huetten. He will also be our illustrious handler for the start. The clock is ticking...and I'm getting excited!! I'm like a little girl in a candy shop right now...barely able to contain myself. At least I have an outlet...it makes for very interesting and entertaining classes with my high school students. Tee hee hee!

You can follow the race by checking out www.cantwellclassic.com. There is quite a competitive field, so it should prove to be a very exciting race. Add to that the weather report that a friend sent to me just this morning, and this race could just be a challenging one as well!

A HEAVY SNOW WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT AST
TONIGHT.
SNOW WILL INTENSIFY THROUGH THIS MORNING AS MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW
OVERRUNS COLDER AIR NEAR THE SURFACE. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO
16 INCHES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON NORTH OF TALKEETNA.
AN ADDITIONAL 4 TO 8 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED THIS EVENING BEFORE
TAPERING OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT.

As if life wasn't interesting enough...this morning, the neighbor down the street had a state trooper car parked in front of their house...then 2 hours later, there were more troopers. Jodi tried to go to my house and they stopped her. At that point, there were even more police/troopers there and a big, black van of some type. They let her go by, after finally getting a hold of Manny to allow her to go through. Isn't life funny?

Well, I'm off! Wish us luck and we'll catch ya on the flip side!!
