Every 4th of July, in Seward, they have the annual Mount Marathon race. What is the Mount Marathon race you ask? It’s a race that is 3.1 miles in length. It starts in downtown Seward and involves climbing to the top of a mountain and running back down. The vertical ascent in many areas is […]
I don’t want to say it too loudly, for fear of jinxing myself, but holy moly…. it’s GORGEOUS today!!!! For the last month or so it hasn’t been warmer than 60, at the very most. I am discovering, since moving to south central Alaska that the summers just don’t get warm like they did in […]
