Ididarod on cross country skis

Well the thing I wished I would of done with dad was to ski the Ididarod . It was his idea I foolishly dismissed as a Foley at the time . It would have been a three week trip across Alaska with dad talk about a screw up . I can still see him and hear his words Adem why couldn't we do that ? I said why don't we snow machine it ? he lost interest and we went on are day to day .The other thing we talk about was death this was shortly after Beckys dad died and he said he hoped to never have to experience a long slow death like he had seen . I suggested when his time came I would take him for the float trip to end all . We could get a raft and float the Yukon river and he could spend his last days in the wilds of Alaska . He asked what if I'm still a live when we got to the Bering sea I said well I guess we just keep on going to Russia . This picture is from on top of King Island its a short hike but nearly strait up he would of loved it one more for the dad wish list Robert .
