As you know JaDee flew out on a little prop plane to his post on the Iditarod. They flew into the "larger" post of Unalakleet .and were going to change planes but weather kept them in Unalakleet last night. Here is the e-mail I got this morning from JaDee:
Well I slept on the basketball floor last night. It is an old domed Quonset hut that they converted into a gym. Everybody else stayed upstairs and I figured if I had the room take it while I had it. I was the only one down there. Carter and Ethan, one of the people that I have meet is a captain of a commercial salmon fishing boat. She is really nice. She has sold fish to the captain of one of the boats off of the Most Dangerous Catch. Kind of funny huh. Well I have a lot of pictures.
Well Nicole I have found Rustic AK. I should have brought you here first and then our house would appear as a modern marvel. Well we had pizza at the only restaurant in town. $36 for a large. All of the satellites point down. I can't wait until you go to Nome.
Any way I will sign off for now. I might fly out if the weather is good. There is a checkpoint that is ahead of us that is not set up yet. Eagle Island has 6' of snow and you sink once you get off of the plane. They have 3 tents and no food for the dogs or mushers yet. So I may be here another day until they get that one set up. Olivia I got to fly in a little airplane I got a lot of good pictures out of the window.
Well I hope you are doing well. Love you all

JaDee's comment about bringing you up there first is a crack up! Even with all that I wish is was me :0)
So how 'bout it? Feel like moving north? I hope that pizza was huge for $36!
