I'm in the Bush part of Alaska, which means there's no road to get to my
village; you can reach us only by plane, boat, snow machine (aka, snow
mobile for you non-Alaskans), dog sled, skis, bike, or foot!  Only the
truly adventurous try the last three options; and the last two can occur
only in the winter!  My village will be one of the check-points for the
Iditarod Sled Dog race that is taking place this week, so visit either
the Anchorage Daily News (http://www.adn.com/iditarod/) or Cabela's
(http://www.cabelasiditarod.com/) for coverage.  I somehow don't think
I'll be getting much sleep!

Since I'm so remote, I truly value the knowledge shared by the Doves!
  This site is one of the anchors I use to keep my perspective.  Thanks,
John!
