BRU 2011

Beaver Round Up 2011 in beautiful Dillingham, Alaska! The traditional time when our trappers headed back to Dillingham to sell their furs (mainly beaver) and congregate in the big city. This year marked the 51st celebration and it was one of the best, ever.

What a week with gorgeous spring (Alaska) weather! Blue skies going on (dare I say it?) at least 2 weeks now with temperatures hovering around 20 degrees. We couldn't have asked for better weather for our spring vacation. To top it off we had cousins from Anchorage come for a visit.

We did everything and anything you can do outside in Alaska in March. The amount of activities for BRU alone were mind boggling.

Let's see if I can list all we did outside during our break.....

1. Skiing
   
2. Sledding
3. Towing w/ Snow Machine
   
4. Snow-machining
5. Dog Mushing- watching
6. Skating
7. Snow-Machine Races
8. Building Snow Tunnels

I wish we would have been able to go out ice fishing but we just couldn't fit that one in. We will have to save that trip for another day.
