Okie dokie buddies, here is our 2017 Alaska thread. As you know, anyone certainly is allowed to post here. We have a few members in Alaska but none of them seem quite as chatty as I am...
Pretty cool to have this ongoing thing for it's 5th year. Hope your year is full of fun and adventure!

The Yukon Quest has started. It started in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories this year. I don't go up to the checkpoint until later this week as it will take the mushers that long to reach this end of the trail. I'm a bit nervous leaving the kids with the full house as we keep having troubles with the kitchen sink drain freezing up. I think it is because after living in a dry cabin for so long, conserving water is very much a way of life. Well, a tiny little shot of water here and there freezes up more readily then a whole lot of water at once. We are going to actually have to learn to use water more. But instead of calling the thawing truck to steam it open, at a cost of a minimum $170, my boyfriend and I came up with our own solution. It only took 3 trips to Home Depot for the right tubing that would fit over the pressure cooker steam release valve, yet retain enough strength when hot, and still go around the bends. It took 6 hours because we didn't have the pressure that the steam trucks do, but we got her open! I was so tickled.
