On Tuesday morning, Vern introduced his new 'dog handler' to our campers. Of course, it didn't take long before everyone at our camp realized that our guest really wasn't a dog handler! Our surprise guest was Gary Paulsen.Campers had the opportunity to listen to Gary's tales--- and ask Gary questions.
Gary shared information about his life and the 'trail' that led him to be an author and an adventurer. He told campers about events in his life, how he came to run with dogs, how he left the mushing world behind, and then returned again.
Stay tuned educators, race fans, and students! Gary told the campers that he plans to sign up to run the 2009 Iditarod. Gary also told them he might run the Yukon Quest. It is evident that Gary's life with dogs continues.

Campers,
That had to be a great experience.
I will never forget meeting Gary at last summer's conference and having the opportunity to share my students' thoughts on his books.
Keep the good stuff coming. I can't wait to hear Gary's comments.
