The Journey is more important than the destination
My first winter in this land of ice and snow. I discovered that even the simplest things become difficult when the temperature is in the single digits. You don’t have any dexterity with gloves or mittens. So you pull them off to do whatever,… Continue Reading “The Great White North”
I found this podcast as an avid fan of Leonhard Seppala and his dogs. The story of the 1925 Serum run. It’s narrated, and you don’t even have to read it! Want to hear why Leonhard Seppala and his dogs are legends? Then kick… Continue Reading “What started it all”

Project Ivan (left): He will be 11 months old next week. To date has 84 miles pulling the trike. 55 runs on an average of 1.5 miles each. Done to bring him up slowly as he grows. Now at 63 pounds, he’s a missile.… Continue Reading “Project Ivan”
