and I can't seem to find it on line anywhere. Maybe Eklutna Lake?

We've been to the Fairbanks ice competition a few times in the past. It's really phenomenal with a lot more entries than our little competition down here. I remember the first year after Susan Butcher passed away they had a huge, bigger than life-size, carving of her on her sled with the dogs running in front and her braids flying in the wind. It was an amazing piece of work. No doubt at all who it was a depiction of.

You must be very talented.
