Husky Homestead

So myself and maryrose work for the large corporation ARAMARK, because of that we get lots of perks like doing all the tourist excursions for FREE!!!
This day we decided to do one called "Husky Homestead"
its owned and operated by Jeff King 4 time Iditarod champion and is recognized as one of the "Winningest mushers in the world".
The tour included: Meeting champion sled dogs, Cuddling husky puppies and a 1 1/2 hour kennel tour and sled demonstration.






Its was actually a really great learning experience, not only about the dogs themselves, but about the actual Iditarod race which is more then 1,150 miles across harsh Alaskan sled dog trails in the dead of winter.
the race goes from Anchorage in south central Alaska, to Nome on the western Bering Sea coast and usually last between 10-17 days.

More power to them, I'd rather stay nice and warm....
But it was still great to learn about. :)
