As we have stated before there is nothing that can be done to bring Dorado back. We have made a commitment to make positive change with ITC for future races. We are pleased today with the following press release. Things are moving forward with ITC and positive change...
Well I decided to head to Unalakleet (UNK) checkpoint to catch Paige as she ran though. I arrived in time to watch all the front teams roll through. As a n aspiring Iditarod musher, it wasa great experience and chance to see how the front teams operate under...
Lucy would like to thank Anne Gourlay for sponsoring her. She may be retired, but she still has lots of spunk and helps train the young dogs. Lucy finished a couple Iditarods and Yukon Quests and has several offspring currently in Aaron Burmeister’s and...
I’ve been struggling to get caught up on the blog from the start to current position. Here at the house we have 30 dogs still running in harness, so I have been very busy between organizing the logistics of flights to and from Nome for us and the dogs, helping...
This past fall we were contacted by Nathan Orie a teacher at Kennedy Middle School in Springfield, MA. He asked if his homeroom class could help us raise money for the Yukon Quest and Iditarod. We said of course! The class was able to raise enough through little...

Like our last post title.. we are still waiting for the snow! This past fall has been a very dry one here in Interior Alaska, with some of the lowest snowfalls in history. This makes training on sled a bit difficult. However, we got about 6 inches of snow at the end...
If you have been following our Facebook page, you probably have a pretty good feel through posts and pictures of what we have been up to. For the rest of you, here is what we have been up to over the past month at Squid Acres Kennel. Last spring while planning the...
Eureka is full of remote mining camps and trails creating an ideal network of roads to get the dogs in shape for the first race of the season, the Top of the World 350 in late Dec. The weather was too warm for any teams to run this morning. Perhaps a midnight run is...
Training season is upon us. We are slowly starting to run the dogs on a daily basis now that the mornings are cooler. In a couple weeks time, we will be in the full swing of training at our remote camp near Manley Hot Springs, Alaska. In the meanwhile we are working...
