Rollin' with the Dunstons: The Midnight Sun
http://rollinwithdunston.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-midnight-sun.html
Rollin' with the Dunstons. Thursday, July 4, 2013. Although I am still complaining that we can't escape "people", I have started to appreciate the magnitude of the wilderness in Alaska and have found I can find some solitude on the trails in the early morning light. In June we caught Halibut (with our friends Jessica and Zach) out of a Ninilchik on a fabulously sunny and calm day. This is my very first fish! A cod which was instantly cut up for bait. but i was still very excited about it! We are so lucky...

Rollin' with the Dunstons: January 2013
http://rollinwithdunston.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Rollin' with the Dunstons. Thursday, January 17, 2013. Although we have only been here less than 3 months, there are already things that I LOVE about Alaska. In no particular order. I love that the big dipper and north star are EVERYWHERE. The flag, route signs, on the sides of company vans, on our drivers licenses, business signs, etc. And, of course, hanging low and bright in the clear, crisp night sky. I love the big rack mammals! Moose, Caribou, Reindeer, Musk Ox! Thursday, January 3, 2013. We were f...

Rollin' with the Dunstons: farming
http://rollinwithdunston.blogspot.com/2013/08/farming.html
Rollin' with the Dunstons. Sunday, August 11, 2013. We learned a lot about the history of farming in Alaska as well as the current challenges faced by farmers. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes economically, politically, and socially! It really made me want to be more active in the local agriculture movement than just buying produce at the farmers market :o). This farm was by far my favorite - it was beautiful, organic and cozy/homey feeling. The pic below is a potato patch tiller!

Rollin' with the Dunstons: Things that made me smile
http://rollinwithdunston.blogspot.com/2013/08/things-that-made-me-smile.html
Rollin' with the Dunstons. Sunday, August 4, 2013. Things that made me smile. I'm trying to blog more regularly (um, which might not happen). I decided that maybe just sharing a few things from the past week (or so) that made me happy, might make it easier to keep on top of sharing/blogging. So, here it goes - in random order:. A great early morning run with my puppy dog. The poppy seeds I planted have started to bloom. Exploring a new trail on another great morning run. Hiking Exit glacier in Seward.

Rollin' with the Dunstons. Monday, July 15, 2013. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. The weather this July has been cooler and cloudy. but still no rain. It's good and bad. I find myself wishing for a good downpour, and then the clearing and sun that follows. But, all the sky does is threaten. Our 4th of July staycation was AWESOME! Besides doing a lot of relaxing, some gardening, coffee drinking and playing with the dogs, we also went to the Girdwood Forest Fair. This weekend was the Fireweed 400. I als...

Rollin' with the Dunstons: Summer Becomes Autumn
http://rollinwithdunston.blogspot.com/2013/09/summer-becomes-autumn.html
Rollin' with the Dunstons. Monday, September 2, 2013. Dave and I are realizing the newest of our Autumn traditions - having progressed from apples and foliage to green chilies and hot air balloons, we arrive in blueberries. Tart and addictive :). Blueberry picking in Whittier near Portage Glacier, the bay leads to Prince William Sound). The tundra displays autumn vibrantly, our first glimpse this weekend while backpacking and exploring Hanging Valley. End of summer picture wrap-up:. The Alaska State Fair!

Rollin' with the Dunstons: March 2013
http://rollinwithdunston.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Rollin' with the Dunstons. Saturday, March 9, 2013. The race is 1000 miles and runs from Anchorage to Nome (or in reverse every other year) connecting many small villages on the two different north or south routes. Originally the sled teams were used to carry mail, medical and other supplies from Anchorage to smaller villages in Alaska. The majority of teams are from Alaska, the lower 48 or Canada. This year the international mushers are from Norway, Russia, Jamaica, Brazil, and New Zealand! Not many peo...
