I sat down with Allen and Aliy over the weekend and filmed a “debrief” with them about the CB300. I’ve edited the video into a three part series that I think you will find very interesting. In Part 1, I ask them about the race in general and they respond … Read More
Congratulations to Aliy for making the cover of Mushing Magazine! The photo was taken at the Two Rivers Tune Up Race by Alaskan photographer Carol Falcetta. I have no idea what kind of process she used to “colorize” and “art-ize” the photo, but I think you’ll agree it’s pretty cool! … Read More
Here’s a little video to enjoy with your Sunday morning coffee. During my drive from the CB300 back to the Kennel, I shot some footage with my onboard camera. The first two minutes show you a few things from our Arctic world that I think you may find interesting. Then … Read More
Bridgett may just be the most positive, up-beat person you could ever meet. She is certainly one of the most excited racers in the CB300. Crossing the finish line after almost 60 hours on her rookie running of the race, Bridgett was just as happy and excited as when she … Read More
Aliy powers along the highway toward Tolsona, then crosses the line to finish eleventh. There wasn’t much of a crowd on hand — in fact, only Doc Mike was there besides the checker! The freezing cold of -30 plus a biting wind were probably the reasons, but that didn’t stop … Read More

By the time I’d gotten back to the Kennel and checked to see that all the dogs were doing fine, then defrosted my camper, stowed my gear, had something to eat, posted the update about winning the Humanitarian Award and gone to bed, it was about one o’clock in the … Read More
Aliy just called from the dog truck on the way back from the CB300 Awards Banquet and said, “Great News! SP Kennel won the CB300 Humanitarian Award!” Because dog care is so important in the sled dog community, Humanitarian Awards are presented by race veterinarians to the musher whom they … Read More
The teams are all staying in Glennallen today, to be on hand for the banquet this evening. They will then drive back to the kennel tonight and arrive early morning. I just visited with the dogs and they are all happily snoozing in the trucks. Their agenda for today is … Read More
Bridgett has just finished #24 with a happy, healthy, even frisky dog team. She is in great shape, almost bubbling over with enthusiasm. Dogs have all eaten a big, hot meal with gusto and are now tucked into their boxes. We are all heading back to get some sleep after … Read More
