This morning we took a ride on a paddle wheel boat on the Chena River. It was a fun excursion with much to see and do along the way. We stopped at a replica Athabasca Indian village for some presentations by natives. We also stopped at Susan Butcher's house and kennel for some demonstrations of dog sled pulling using a four wheel ATV minus it's engine. The power was provided by ten dogs from her kennel some were offspring of Granite, her champion lead dog. Susan's husband took the team on about a mile run and explained some of the training for puppies to make good sled dogs out of them. A little later on the trip there was a bush pilot that did a couple of take offs and landings for our viewing. There was a very good narrator on board that talked throughout the trip with lots of interesting information of the area.
