Husky Homestead surely couldn’t make everything happen without our incredible crew of winter handlers!\u00a0 From feeding and scooping, to puppy walks and playtime – they help us make it all happen!\u00a0 So we wanted to take a minute to tell you about them…\u00a0 introducing…<\/p>\n

Alex Buetow<\/strong>:\u00a0 Many of you may remember Alex – he’s been with us for for over two and half years now, and he had a great run in in his rookie Yukon Quest last February.\u00a0 Alex took some well-deserved time off during the fall, and returned in December ready to jump back on the runners for the winter.\u00a0 With Jeff out of town in early December, Alex assisted the three teams that we had in our first race of the season a couple of weeks back – the Alpine Creek Excursions Sled Dog Race.<\/a>\u00a0 He may be pretty savvy with sled dogs, but ask him about his recent attempts at being a snowmachiner…\u00a0 shh – don’t tell him that we told you!<\/p>\n

Maren Johnson:\u00a0<\/strong> Maren was with us for our 2015\/2016 winter season, and we finally convinced her to join us for her first summer in Denali this year.\u00a0 She stayed on for the winter and we’re certain our dogs are just as thrilled as we are!\u00a0 Maren was instrumental in the rehab of Crosby and Banjo after Jeff’s accident in the 2016 Iditarod, and both dogs still hold a special place in her heart.<\/p>\n

Natan Krzyinski:<\/strong>\u00a0 Joining us for his first winter in Alaska, Nathan is brand new to dogs and mushing.\u00a0 He didn’t let that stop him however, and he ran a team of veterans in the ACE race – and had a blast!<\/p>\n

Julie Scherma:\u00a0<\/strong> Julie joined us mid-fall, and completed our winter crew.\u00a0 She already had dog mushing experience under her belt, but ran her rookie race at the ACE race and she decked our her sled with a mini-Christmas tree.\u00a0 Julie says she’s ready for the next one!<\/p>\n

This weekend is also race weekend!\u00a0 The Two Rivers Dog Mushers Association<\/a> is hosting the Solstice 50<\/a> race this Saturday and we’ve got two teams signed up: Jeff and Alex!\u00a0 Each will be running a team of 12 dogs in the race – and nope, we don’t know quite<\/em> yet who will be on those teams, but we’ll be sure to let you know once the decision is made!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 This race is a 50-mile run, so there won’t be a whole lot of updating from our end, but we will keep you posted as best we can.
\nJeff is out on the Denali Highway today with a team, and our crew stayed here at the Homestead to put some more miles on the dogs here and prep some stuff for this weekend.\u00a0 Today was a bit of a wake-up call for all of us when we checked the thermometer this morning… we registered at a balmy -25.6!\u00a0 Time to get out the extra layers.. we’ve been spoiled this season!<\/p>\n

Until next time.. Happy Trails!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
