good times down town

During the Iditirod there is a festival down town. This is one of my favorite events, the out house races. This paticular outhouse represents a first impression I started to notice when we had just arrived. There are little to no building codes in much of Alaska. It turns out that a plastic tarp and house wrap work well enough for many, many Alaskans as permenant exterior protection from the weather.

Well done, David. Way to rekindle the blogging spirit! Alaska is lookin' pretty fun. The cross-country skiing through the sweet scenery looks awesome (albeit cold...).

That outhouse looks cozy in the cold weather. Can anyone use it, or just the guys pushing it?
