We hadn't heard from Liv in a couple of days and were wondering why. We knew she was doing great based on the pictures we saw and the update we got from one of the leaders, but it's nice to hear directly from her, even if only a text message. We speculated she may have lost her phone or they were out of range of a cell signal up in Denali Park. Turns out it was the latter.
Livvi sent us the following text on Saturday afternoon:
Sorry I've been so busy, but I'm having a great time. Now on way 2 kennel :)
- Leaving Denali and traveling to the town of Talkeetna, which began as a trading post when gold was first discovered in the Susitna River.
- Meeting a local bush plane pilot who will share tales of flying climbers on to the face of Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in the United States!
- Continue on your journey to Palmer in the Matanuska Susitna Valley, where world record monster size vegetables grow in the 24-hour daylight.
- Meet a real sled dog musher! Stop in at the official Iditarod headquarters before visiting the sled dog training kennels of four time Iditarod winner, Martin Buser.
- Learn about the Last Great Race and the life and art of mushing dogs in Alaska. You even get to cuddle with puppies (no, you can't take one home).
I'm just guessing, but I have a feeling Livvi enjoyed meeting the puppies!
