Luna – The End Of A Sled Dog Era

“And what have you done for the past two weeks?” Or “Corona can even find you somewhere in the middle of nowhere!” On Tuesday, March 10th at 6:00 a.m. I got into the car with Mona (a friend from Germany) and we drove the almost 700km towards Alta in Northern Norway to the Finnmarkslöpet. During this 1200km long-distance race, we…

Special situation needs special actions
First of all – welcome to my blog about the life with sled dogs. I had planned the blog since several month now. But never found the time. Now I have time. Normally I would have been very busy with guest tours from our company 8Seasons MI.EKO BASECAMP. A small outdoor tourism company run by Johanna and me. Located in…
