This was my first trip into a "real" Alaskan Native Village. Slept on the floor in the school, no showers and had to pack in our food and water. A FABULOUS experience. 80 degrees in the school and 19 degrees outside. The plane is the one we flew in on; had to share it with sled dogs. The villagers are bringing their sled dogs into the villages in preparation of the Iditarod. Huslia is on the Iditarod course and 4 of the mushers live in the village and are Native Alaskans from Huslia. The village has 79 students K-12 and about 250 people total. No phones, television,etc. Enjoy the pictures. The picture out the plane window is what we saw until we were 10 miles out from Huslia...NOTHING! Completely fogged in. Going back there Nov. 11 and 12 and Dec. 9 and 10.
