Earlier this month, the club staged the second annual “Human Iditarod,” a competition inspired by the famous Alaskan dog sled race in which teams of students pulled homemade sleds around the same space that played host to the campout.

In his spare time he volunteers to tend the dogs in sled races, such as the Iditarod that runs from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska, and he leads adventure--natural history tours to remote areas of North America. This past November he went to Churchill, on the Hudson Bay in Canada, to take 14 souls to see polar bears. Last year he led a 500-mile canoe trip down...
