Ease into it. Because he’s an older puppy and because he’s hard-headed we will be building ways to strengthen your skills while changing his habits. Do what HW 1 says to do, and add in the Leadership Stays – make adjustments to time if it seems to hard at first. Use the leash to keep him from being able to walk away and ignore commands being…[Read more]

Hi Roberta it’s Michele, I like how you handled the bra incident. What in the heck happened with the human waste? Baby diaper or something? Please give me a call tomorrow so we can discuss scheduling the zoom call. 907-841-1603

Yes we can change the Camp dates that isn’t a problem. Anything over 17 days is $30 additional per night.

Please share your results here in the comment section or you can simply take a pic and text it to me. I look forward to it.

I have fingers crossed that Dexter pays attention to what you ask of him, use an object of attraction like a…[Read more]

Good advice, Kathleen. I had added extra food and a couple extra snacks for the stay put days. I figure if I dont use it I can always share it with someone else.

Hi Michele and I are flying home from Nome on the 12th from Nome and already bought our tickets. I think we only paid a couple hundred bucks. Typically the dogs can fly out every day. I would check with what carriers fly directly to Fairbanks.

Per last week, there is NO phone call tonight as Michele and I have a previous engagement.

Call next week at 7pm AK time.

Remember drop bags will need to be sent out no later than Tuesday. I am picking up the Nome Crew on Tuesday and shipping them out from here.

I posted some pictures on the main portal page from Lou of some patients that he has recently seen.

He is very concerned and also wants us to sign a liability waiver.

He will talk more about it on Sunday.

Hi All,

Working on website….

Go to this link and you will see your name. I need a picture or high quality/resolution that will fit in the square as well as a couple lines for your bio.

Time is of the essence because the site is live right now and I would like to promote it by the end of the…[Read more]

I am woking on getting the website up and I would like to induce a picture and bio for each person. Each person will have their own page and after the trip we can add photos or whatever you like on the page.

An example of the url will be https://serumruntrailexpedition(dot)org/2020/stephainejonhson

This is a dead link right now but it will…[Read more]

It was Juliah and she asked it here on the portal.

Count me in for the video/photo package. Just let me know how much.

Still waiting on the approval from Facebook on the name change. Remember that even though we are traveling as a group of friends on this trip the Serum Run Trail Expedition is a registered business name with the State of Alaska.

Yes they are shared rooms.

Great points, Kathleen.

My plan is to also interview each of the participants to air on Mushing Radio using a Zoom recorder. I will be doing this as one interview each day. This will be a great archive on our podcast that is listened to all over the world and will air locally on a radio station in Palmer. We are the only weekly run mushing radio show anywhere in the…[Read more]

For a much better alternative than Mountain House, MREs or other freeze dried meals I suggest you check out Adventure Appetites. This is a local Anchorage based company and was founded by a colleague. I have used them on several long expeditions and trips and taste far superior to the other brands.

They also have breakfast, lunch/snacks and…[Read more]

The official trail tracker will be:

https://share.garmin.com/RobertForto

This track will also be shared on social media and other location and will ping every 30 minutes. This would be a great link to share with your friends and fans.

I have renamed the Facebook page and invited my 4000 friends to “like” it.

It will take time for Facebook to approve the name change. Here is the text from Facebook:
