Mile 0

Last weekend we hit the road and headed south for Seward. After beautiful 2.5hr drive down the Seward Highway, through Chugach State Park and onto the Kenai Peninsula, we arrived in Seward.
The rain let up long enough to see this rainbow along the Seward Highway

Sadly, it was pouring rain almost all day, limiting what we were able to do. We didn't see much of the Pacific, or glimpse Mt. Marathon, or see the day's catches down at the docks. We did, however, find the original starting point of the Iditarod. The annual race now begins in Anchorage and runs a much shorter 1112 miles. Kelly and I tackled about 1.5 miles of the course last weekend. Stay tuned as we rack up the rest of trip.
