It’s race day!
We’ve been enjoying letting the dogs run around in their ‘pallet palace’ here in Bethel. In the bush, items are often repurposed as much as possible due to the high costs of living in a remote area. The only way to get things to Bethel is to fly them in or barge them in during the summer. Thanks to Victoria Hardwick for the great set up!

The #k300 starts at 6:30pm #alaska time and Travis will leave 11th

We are excited for our first @kuskokwim300 race and are absolutely loving #Bethel

We’ll be posting race updates but you can also follow along on the K300 website as all the teams will have GPS trackers.

Shout out to Dr. Carson’s All Natural Pet Products for helping keep our team healthy and happy. The only way to have a fast team is by having a healthy team. We love the #canine #probiotic formula and think it’s the single best addition to our feeding program. Highly recommend checking it out.

Both humans and dogs arrived safely in Bethel late

Both humans and dogs arrived safely in Bethel late last night. We were greeted with some of the famous Bethel hospitality by 2019 Iditarod musher Victoria Hardwick, her partner Richard and her handler Travis who are hosting us while we stay here.

Although the dogs flight was delayed, when their plane got in we quickly got them settled and fed. This morning, we watched the sun rise over Bethel as we fed the team. Then, it was time for vet checks and taking our drop bags in.

It’s been a whirlwind couple of hours. Tonight we have the musher’s meeting and plan on getting good rest before a great race to come. 🔥🎊The @kuskokwim300 starts TOMORROW 🔥🎊 #dogsledding #kusko #dogsofinstagram #mushing #sleddogs #huskies #huskygram #instahusky #alaska #explorealaska #sunrise #bethel #travelgoals #herewego #raceday #mustlovedogs #remotealaska #doggos #doglovers #doglife #alaskaair #northernAircargo #iditarod #dogtravel #travelingwithdogs

The dogs are loaded, the gear is packed, and we are on our way to BETHEL for the @kuskokwim300
This is our first trip to the remote village of Bethel and we couldn’t be more excited. Bethel is known for its exceptional hospitality and hard fast trails.

We’ve spent the last few days preparing for travel: organizing gear, gathering kennels, and doing drop bags. The K300 is considered to be the most competitive mid-distance race with a field that includes 7 of the top 10 finishers from Iditarod 2019. This is sure to be a fun race! 📸 taken by Sarah on #Iditarod 2016

Havoc is BIG on personality. You could direct traffic with her ears. When everyone else comes inside and settles on the couch, Havoc pouts at the door because she hates being inside.

Havoc ran her first Iditarod in 2016 with Sarah & has since gone on to run with Travis every year since. She isn’t always the hardest pulling dog, but she’s light on her feet and always has a great attitude.
She’s a super quirky and inquisitive dog. Her favorite things include playing with her sisters, rolling around in the snow, teasing Min, and using her ears to express herself.

It’s getting hot! Temperatures have risen from a frigid -35 to a “moderate” -10. Is it crazy to say that it feels warm? 😝

Here’s a video of junior musher Sam Paperman getting out with the dogs today. The team is looking FROSTY but we were having fun. It even started snowing, which actually seemed strange given how cold it still was.

We came back with frosted eyelashes and big smiles. The dogs all had wagging tails and goofed around in the snow whenever we stopped.

Now, Travis and I are preparing for the KUSKO, the most competitive 300 mile race in Alaska!

Sometimes, it’s the simple things that make the cold more bearable. The full moon, the brilliant stars, or the steaks of aurora overhead.

Last night we went out to do chores at -30 and were lucky enough to have all three. The days may be cold, but the nights are full of their own wild magic.

Trail work pays off 👌🏻

Trail work pays off 👌🏻

There’s a lot that goes into running dogs behind

There’s a lot that goes into running dogs behind the scenes, including hours and hours of trail work. Here we are reinforcing an ice bridge after a warm-up period to make sure it’s safe and wide enough for our dogs and strong enough for snowmachines.

To reinforce the bridge, we cut spruce boughs to line the bridge and then cut ice chunks and floated them down river before manipulating them into place. The goal is to slow water flow so that this area freezes quicker.

Our neighbor Sam put several hours into this bridge and then we put in another 8hrs between the two of us.

Good trails = wagging tails!
