My ride with Ed Stielstra


On January 31, 2010, I went on a sled dog ride with Ed Stielstra at Boyne Highlands. It was snowing at the time. With the snow blowing in my face, it was hard to keep my eyes open. His lead dog's name was "Cookie." It was a fun ride, and I'm sorry it had to end.

  2. Hi Chris!
    Isn't Ed Stielstra a great guy? He is known as one of the friendliest mushers to ever go through the checkpoint at Koyuk. I am proud of you for figuring out how to add a picture to your post on this blog. Way to go!

  3. We learned when we were riding with Ed that he and his wife, Tasha (also a musher), are expecting a baby this month! I think that is why he is not racing the Iditarod this year. Best wishes to them on their new "trail" of parenthood, right?! CB's Mom
