Homeward Bound.
The racing season kicks off this weekend with the . Toting the longest dogsled race in the lower 48, teams race all along Minnesota’s north shore of Lake Superior, starting near Duluth and ending in Grand Portage. Over 7 years ago this race piqued my interest in mushing here in the Midwest. We are blessed to have such an interesting race here in our own back yards, and teams from all across the US and Canada come to town to race. Looking back 7 years ago, it’s crazy to see the incredible opportunities that this sport has given me. From volunteering and shooting for the local races here in Minnesota, to making our first film in Ely, to heading up to be a videographer for the Iditarod in Alaska, I’m glad to be a small fraction of the community, even if it’s just by proxy.
