I've been thinking of doing this too

I got the idea this summer when I was in Alaska and visited a "dog camp". The teams I saw actually participate in the Yukon Quest - a sister race across Canada, in March. I met one of the mushers and his lead dog, have pictures ... I was thinking of doing a compare/contrast type of project .... following a mush team from each race; reading literature; writing; etc. There are web sites for both races. I googled the topic and there are a lot of books out there at various levels - Akiak & Stone Fox were mentioned, and Gary Paulson has a few too. I'm seeing an opportunity for some great classroom collaboration here

My problem is I traditionally do a huge falcon project every year that runs about the same time - and it is "expected" I will do it again ... I don't know if I should try and do both ... Too many ideas, too little time
