Nolan is now a seasoned Jet traveler. He knows how to relax and people watch in the Airport. When the crowds clear, he plays fetch in the baggage claim. We have learned that the direct flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage is the best bet. We plan a long layover in Anchorage to walk the dog and check in again.
We were very happy that Nolan to puts up with the travel in good spirits. I actually think he has more room than I did in the middle seat for 5 hours. The rewards were worth it. Nolan got to play with tons of dogs on the trip and run around on farms and in our big woods.

Nolan has enjoyed his Xmas present from Mikie, a hunt on the farm. We have been enjoying the company of good friends and family.

Unfortunately, dogs can’t read. Of course this is the first place Nolan chooses to pee when we get in from Bethel. I tried to look the other way.

Today we went out to take our Xmas pictures. It was really cold and windy. After all of the set up, I went home to discover that my settings were on the lowest setting and I didn’t take any high resolution pictures.
At least we had a warm pot of snow shoe hare stew in the crock pot. Tom put out a dozen snares and this was the first victim.

On sunday we tried to hike to the head of the glacier. They close this road in the winter so you have to walk to the trailhead. After 5 miles one way we gave up. It was so great to walk on a hard trail. Something we are not used to. So we settled for a beautiful 10 mile hike along the river. We will have to come back to see the glacier on another day.
