SLED DOGS

Under Construction





  I started mushing in 1980 with the purchase of my
  first sled dog "Vida", a 5-month old Mackenzie
  River Husky-Malemute mix.   I later picked up
  former Iditarod dogs of husky mix.

  I lived in the small town of Hope, Alaska where
  mushing was  right from the front door of my
  one-room cabin and offered the Resurrection
  Creek Trail (42-miles of twisting, mountain  trail,
  to the town of Cooper Landing).  
  


  I volunteered on the famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from 1982 to 1988.
  I now have six dogs and am mostly retired as a musher.
