We decided not to fight the traffic headed to the shopping malls and movie theaters in Arctic Village, and go for a cross country ski instead.
Its been a mild winter so far with temperatures in the teens and twenties the past week. Each day has brought a couple of inches of fresh snow.
We skied the mile long road to the airport, then cut over to Loon Lake. Once on the lake we traversed a series of lakes and ponds that connect to the back of our house.
Jack pulled Gretchen.
This was a great way to burn a couple calories in preparation for the Thanksgiving gorge.
We had dinner with about 65 other people in the Village Community Hall. 
The spread consisted of Turkey, Ham, Moose, Caribou, Goose, Potato Salad, Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry pudding, Yams, Fry Bread, Rice, Stuffing, and plenty of Cake & Pie.

The coolest Mink hat ever.
