Brooks
Range, The Real-Life drama of Mushing through Alaska's Brooks Range, (just south of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge). Mushing is not the 'everyday life' most people know. There is something that exists between a Musher and his Team that far exceeds the understanding of 'common hours.' Brooks Range is an attempt to share some of those extraordinary moments with those who may not have the ability to experience them, and in so doing, share a bit of the understanding of the bonds that persist when one's very life depends upon the Honor of Dogs. |
