It all began when a young boy found a stray white husky who was later named Sheba. While training Sheba a dream was born to run the Iditarod and live in Alaska. That dream became a reality in 1996 and now I spend time training young pups and conditioning all year. You can come by and take a kennel tour, take a sled ride or just stop by and chat about the 2002 Iditarod race of my dreams.

Each year during March, the eyes of the world are on Alaska to witness what is known by man as "The Last Great Race". Mushers and dog team up to face the challenge of over a thousand miles of awesomely beautiful yet treacherous terrain from Anchorage to Nome, racing other teams time and elements.

This is more than merely a race. It is the ultimate test of strength, endurance and skill where men, women and highly trained sled dogs are pitted against the harsh and unforgiving winter wilderness across frozen tundra and through rugged mountain passes, through blizzards and waist high snow, in temperatures exceeding 50 below zero. It is a race in which a strong heart, an iron will and an undaunted determination are not only essential ingredients for competing in this race but also for one's survival.

This is the Iditarod. Mushers from all around the world join the ever expanding field of mushers whose dream is to participate in the annual event, each hoping that they will cross the finish line in Nome.
