Blizzard Forces Mr. Mark to Leave Early

Fearing the possibility of missing the Mushers Banquet and possibly the Educators Conference, I was able to get an early flight out of MSP. The weather didn't effect the flight at all. Took a nap on the 5 plus hour flight and when I woke up 30 minutes from Anchorage I looked out the window. Unfortunately, this computer at my hotel will not allow me to upload any photos. Looking out the window I saw mountains illuminated with the faint light left from the sun setting hours ago. The mountains seemed exaggerated... almost like a moonscape and were covered with snow. Seeing a small group of lights, I thought I saw the city of Anchorage - WRONG. Further up the city covered an enormous area. I was told it covers more area than Delaware. I am so thankful to all the people who encouraged and helped me to beat the storm for this trip. I will write again as the facilities allow.
