Well, some of you already know the news. The rest have heard me hinting about it for weeks and are probably wanting me to tell you what it is already! So that is what I am going to do.

In August, Calypso and I are heading up to Finland, Minnesota (near Ely). We will be living at Manitou Crossing Kennels (aka Jedeye Kennels) where I will be working as a handler for mushers Blake and Jen Freking. So this Winter will be very different for us. I will be working with the Jedeye racing huskies and helping train the pups. It’s going to be very exciting and I may have opportunities to race in some mid-distance events in the Midwest. The dogs at Manitou Crossing are mostly Siberians, which is very exciting. Calypso will be among her “own kind”!

It is possible, although by no means a certainty, that I will attempt the Beargrease Marathon in 2010 with a puppy team. I have decided that this is my goal for now.

Be sure to check out the Manitou Crossing Kennel blog at http://mck-blog.blogspot.com/ to read about their current happenings and to see pictures of the puppies I’ll be working with (there is nothing cuter than a litter of Siberian husky puppies!).

So this Wandering GA Musher is wandering from Georgia to Minnesota. Another step closer to living the life I have wanted since I was eleven. Actually, I WILL be living that life this Winter. Experiencing it through the eyes of a handler…

Wish me luck!
