At last night's volunteer meeting we had one of the most interesting speakers. Pat Moon who lives in Park Ridge shared stories about his job of being a sled dog musher. Pat found a way to combine his love of working with animals and being outdoors into a really cool job. And when I say cool I mean it. Since you need snow to run dog sleds that puts you in places like Alaska, Siberia and the Alps where a warm day is 10 degrees below zero. Pat has even run the famous Iditarod race in Alaska. For our meeting Pat brought the tools of his trade and even one of his partners, Hera who is a very friendly Alaskan Husky.
