Rankin Ranch - Our 10th Wedding Anniversary (9-10-05): Nicole and I spent 6 days on a 31,000 acre working cattle ranch (and guest ranch) near Tehachapi, CA and had a wonderful time. We went trail riding 2-3 times a day, enjoyed swimming, great food, met some new friends, and much more. It was a wonderful trip and I recommend anyone go and get to know the Rankin family and experience this wonderful taste of the Old West! You won't be disappointed. Click here to find out more. Email me if you want a full-resolution version of any of the pictures (Right-click on the picture and then click properties and find out what the name of the file is so I know which image to send you).

Dog Mushing: One of Alaska's favorite sports - sled dog racing. We have a variety of mushing photos from recreational trips we've taken to action shots of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - there would be nothing crueler than to prevent these dogs from running! They LOVE what they do and they are the greatest atheletes on earth, hands down!

2003 Iditarod Start - Downtown Anchorage, AK: This is the superbowl of Alaska! Everyone looks forward to this famous race and it's covered heavily by the local news media. They truck snow in, in dump trucks and create a snowy trail on the streets of Anchorage. This year there was NO snow on the ground, so creating the trail was a big task!!
