Dammmmmmn. Now that would be a goal I'd like to do before I die.

 

8 huskies now. We're still giving them away, apparently...... boohoo.

The requirement for the Iditarod is a minimum of eight huskies, but you want to have more with you incase one or two die or can't go on. I think you get disqualified if you end up with less than five... the smaller races, which I think would be more enjoyable (250 miles compared to 1,049??? ()), don't have as strict requirements and you can use less dogs....

Aha, I used to be obsessed with sled dog racing.

 

Oddly, I did too. I was a big fan of Jack London.

 

I was in love with Susan Butcher when I was 9...

 

I've seen the Northern Lights and they're gorgeous. I was in Norway in a really remote place with absolutely no man made light, and the stars were breathtaking.

What I found more fascinating though was the dry electrical storms that happened over the rainforest in Belize. Shades of pink, green and blue just appearing in the sky.. awesome.
