I haven’t been on it in 15 years, to be fair…but it was my “can’t miss” at the Minnesota State Fair for well over a decade. If the stars align and Im ever back in town for the GMGG, you better believe I’ll pony up for the Zipper! My cousin runs the apple barn now, so the odds aren’t zero.

Let there be light! We finally had our “A team” headlamp back in action today, after 4+ weeks. No good reason. It just took me that long to buy more AA batteries 😂.

Big-time Tongue 😂 (this pic is from the day we got Wolfy, just an hour or two before I picked her up at the airport cargo facility!)

A little more footage and explanation: I have an old sled dog and a fake sled dog, so much of what we do is not typical mushing/skijor “best practice”. We’re just out to have fun together and enable the dogs to train with me for ITI (though they stay home for the actual race itself!)

First ski day officially on the books! High risk-high reward: a lot of driving when coupled with yesterday’s hime, but this was my first time on skis before Thanksgiving EVER. It was a rocky one but we had a blast!

Thank you, AT, just for being. You’ve done more than you’ll ever know.

If the three of us never make it up Glastenbury together again…we’ll always have had this 🤍

Time keeps moving, dogs get old. Wolfy is slowing down and Wylie’s arthritis is both progressing and spreading. They love being out there so much, but it won’t be fair for me to ask too much of them, for too long.

It also means I’m running out of time to visit these special places with Wy&Wo. Glastenbury is one of my favorites. I call it ‘the Mountain that made me love Mountains.”

Short term, it means I am slowly running out of time to train for ITIAlaska. Thats both scary and exciting, but I know it’s not the real reason that I hung on.

The impetus of this whole project was to hike until there was enough snow to ski. I hung on for probably one weekend too long, not wanting to face the fact of transition to the next phase of training.

That’s a wrap on the Glastenbury Residency. On our last lap today, we ended up turning around at the top of Maple Hill, mile 2.0. The decision was a mix of tough conditions and Wylie being somewhat under the weather. Last week was our last summit, we just didnt know it yet.

Everytime I buy one of these one-way tickets to Alaska, I get the little thrill of feeling like Im running away forever 😅 #RushTheITI

Right this moment, warm at home, my nearly 11 y.o. girl is asleep with her head on my hip. I know that if I hike Glastenbury after this year, I am likely hiking solo.
Anticipatory nostalgia is a real bitch.

Based on current snowfall trends, this weekend could be our last of the Glastenbury Residency. That would be, is, great news for our ski prospects.
So why am I crying?
