Today is a big day ... if you happen to be a Montana sled dog. The 25th running of the Race to the Sky is underway, the mushers and their dogs heading out from Lincoln this morning on the primary leg of their 350-mile dogsled trek.

I'm a professional historian, though my real passions lie in the art of photography and the freedom of travel. Armed with camera and backpack, I've visited all fifty of the US states ... and a total of 65 countries on six continents.
