Taking dogs, a sled and mushing through the snow sound like an idea for you?  It could work in the right circumstances.  But Alaska in many ways has pulls away from that old idea, except of the Iditarod.  Many others use dogs for traplines around Alaska as well as other States and Canada.  But it is hard work.... so unless you want to wake up at 4:30 every morning to feed them, then they may not be worth your time.

We decided to go watch the teams go by on a quiet strip, for the Iditarod.  I have a few photo's I will be in posting.  I have a lot of respect for these people who spend all this time with their dogs and training them.  I will be honest, I love animals... but caring for 50 or more can be more time then I could manage.  Good Luck to those on the trail!

Could you do it?  Would you want too?  What if meant you had to to survive?  Could this be your B.O.B.?
