John

John Barron is an Alaskan. His lifelong passion has been mushing dog teams in the snowy white grandeur of the Alaska Wilderness. Taking the plunge into the dark unknown  of icy gorges. Gliding through the high mountain passes of The Alaska Range. Mt. McKinley high lighted by a back drop of royal blue. The hiss of the snow beneath the runners and the creaking of the sled.Working as a team with his dogs. Shouting commands to his Lead and Wheel dogs. The team as with all teams act as one. Both man and beast become as one, fourteen hearts beat with excitement as the vapor of their breath streams in the sub zero air! Few now will ever know this primordial link between man and beast. This timeless union has been long lost except to the very few!
