7th day Alaska trip ANCHORAGE and MCGRATH

At the airport at 6:45AM as I am on the waitlist for the Pen Air flight to McGrath. Hanks flight is confirmed and ready at 8:15am. Hank off. I waited until noon with conflicting opinions as to my flight status. By noon the flight was cancelled due to weather--now its really snowing. Went to the Millinneum Hotel with all the cancellettees. I now have a room, huge, for $89. Hank is in McGrath in a single small room, bath down the hall for $200. A double is $400. NOTHING in McGrath should be that price.
As the Millinneum Hotel is the headquarters for the Iditarod I spent the rest of the day with them. Finally got my volunteer badges etc. for the trip north. Met a girl and guy that ran the race last year and would be sitting out for this one. VERY interesting observations from them.
Not such an exciting day but will hope tomorrow the weather is better and I get to McGrath.
