The Village

Yup, it really does take a Village.  So this post is a thank you to all the folks helping make this trip a reality and a few shameless endorsements for their fantastic businesses.

So here goes:

A big thank you to Lynn Whipple for providing the dog care for my canines while I am gone.  Not everyone can take care of 3 crazy sled dogs and keep them happy and having fun.  If you need a mortgage or REFI, just call Lynn.  She is the best in the West - Montrose to Albuquerque.

Kirk, Chandler and Colin at SpinDoc in Santa Fe - helping figure out Fatbike logistics for Fairbanks, fenders for mud season and so much more ... I hope you enjoy my Pugsley while I am out of town and get Geoff hooked!

Wet Dog Ranch in Fairbanks - lodging and even a ride from the Airport.  Check them out under Fairbanks, AK at

Josh Spice and Far North Fatbikes.  You got me hooked on those crazy bikes last year, so really it is all your fault!  Thank you for the Pugsley!

Charles at the Whole Package - shipping large unwieldy objects just is not a problem.

Robbie Ryse -  Well, Jack London set the standard, if you are going to Alaska you gotta go through San Francisco.  Robbie's kennel, POSTMORE KENNELS has consistently been voted the best grooming and boarding kennel in Marin County, CA

Carolyn - thank you for the airport transportation, the cat/house sitting, the mail pick up, the assistance with accommodations and well just about everything else!  Without your help, it wouldn't be possible!!!

And of course, Dad who would have thought I was nuts and still would have said Enjoy the Ride.
