It was a busy travel month in February. Early in the month I had to fly to Anchorage for a meeting.
It was Patty's turn next. She flew to the village of Selawik.
Patty and I took a week off toward the end of the month and flew first to Anchorage for the Fur Rendezvous and Iditarod, and then to Valdez for a visit.
Patty and I flew to Valdez to check out job and housing prospects. We got stuck by the weather for three days and actually missed the start of the Iditarod.
