I was in Alaska only a few years after Sarah Palin had been the Republican nominee for Vice President, so we'd all heard of Wasilla, where she'd been mayor before becoming governor of Alaska. I seem to remember we saw her house across the water.
But we weren't in Wasilla to look up the Palins, we were there to visit Iditarod headquarters. We got to see lots of sled dogs and hold puppies, and go on a short training ride with one of the dog teams. There wasn't any snow yet, obviously, so the dogs pulled a wagon instead of a sled, which conveniently had room for four extra riders. It was tremendous fun; I'm not sure I've ever wanted to do anything as much as those dogs wanted to RUN.
