Link: KTNA A family that planned to spend winter in a woodstove-heated wall tent in the Susitna Valley wilderness near Talkeetna with a dozen dogs gave up over the weekend, a few days after the mother was evacuated with severely frostbitten hands. The father and a teenager walked 7 miles out to civilization on Saturday, the son also suffering from frostbite. Then, authorities had to mount another difficult operation to rescue a dozen dogs the family left behind at the campsite. "We do have some problems at the start of winter with people who may go to remote sites to live and not really be prepared," said Mat-Su Borough animal care officer Bob Haskell.
