I believe that adventures enrich the society, not unlike art. I like to think that with my writing and talks, I bring a bit of excitement and joy to others. I also believe that outdoor adventures, particularly, help us to better see who and what we are. This is reason to support numskulls like me doing things like this.

My goal for this year is to get my team of pure-bred Siberian Huskies to Nome the hard way. If there’s something special in a road trip, there’s something really special in a sled trip covering 1,000 miles of Alaskan Wilderness.

It costs a lot to run Iditarod. These costs include an entry fee of $4,000 and food for the dogs at $4,900. Shipping and transportation costs are several thousand dollars. Even booties for the race and training are about $2,000. “Running Costs,” excluding equipment, are over $20,000. In addition to this, I’m sure I’ll be using of order $10,000 worth of equipment and that does not include the truck and the dogs. Big bucks.

Anyone interested in helping defray these costs, your contributions will be both acknowledged and appreciated. My e-mail address is robloveman@blackfoot.net and my phone is 406.677.3141.

Contributors of $500 or more will receive one of my essays transcribed by me with my calligraphy. The latter isn’t much, but it is mine. The specific essay will be chosen by the contributor from a list of possibilities. The essay should be in your hands before August, 2009.

Contributors of $50 or more will receive a signed photograph from the Iditarod Trail. The photograph should be in your hands before August, 2009.

Contributors of $25 or more will receive a signed thank-you card from Nome.

All Contributors/Sponsors will be acknowledged on this website. This includes those fools who contribute time to this effort.

Anybody is welcome to visit the kennel assuming I am around and have time (actually, most of the year). Give me a call, and we’ll see what we can do.
