Suddenly, the rowdy sounds of the pandemonium drop away as the dogs burst free, you and they adrenaline-pumped partners sailing through a snow-filled forest, no colors but the white of the snow, the shadowy green spruce, and the blue sky brightening your way through the dark woods. Today, my thirteen-year-old daughter Devon rides in the basket, entranced with the speed, the beauty, the strength of those sweet, sturdy dogs drawing her further into the unknown. I haven’t ridden behind a dog sled in twenty years, but a familiar thrill surges through my veins as my heart picks up the steady rhythm of the dogs’ gait, my body aligning with the curves of the trail in a fluid rolling motion that sends the balky sled arcing smoothly along its icy trajectory.

“Do you see, Devon?” I ask my daughter. “Do you understand why I had to come back to Alaska?”
