Dog Sledding

Imagine you’re driving a team of veteran sled dogs in the last great frontiers on earth, Alaska. You're dog mushing! Mark and I mushed our own team of friendly Iditarod seasoned sled dogs along ancient Eskimo trails. We drove our snowmobiles up frozen rivers and to the top of mountain passes. This was truly an Alaska adventure travel vacation of a lifetime! We saw abundant wildlife, awesome scenery, large herds of moose, Caribou, seals, wolves and eagles. I must say that riding in the sled is more comfortable than standing on the back, but the dogs are constantly kicking up ice and snow into your face!

Wow! What an experience. It would be just like participating in the Iditarod. What better way to see the Alaskan landscape up close and personal.

That looks so cool. I never thought that a guy from New Jersey could actually end up driving a dog sled by going on an Alaskan cruise. This looks like a vacation that is much more than just sailing up the coastline. Now I want to go on a cruise like this next summer!

This must have been incredible! Dog Sledding must have given you a completely new experience. (I can't even imagine). How many dogs pulled your sled? I saw something about this on Survivor Man! (I just love that show!)
