Mrs. North of 60

There are some very good reasons that I feel confident calling myself Mrs. North of Sixty. Here are a few:

I am the 3-time hairy leg champion of the Yukon (click on the Yukon video to see my 2006 win):

I bravely ford ice cold rivers with my mountain bike, mud stained bike shorts with my wicked "Fat Bottomed Girl" shirt:

I have put a human toe in my mouth (yes, that orange thing is actually a pickled big toe) at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson City:

I have gone on hikes in -46 degree weather:

Not only do I have a Yukon mutt, I have a Yukon mutt that is treated like a really hairy human AND has skijoured me to and from work:

I am fisherwoman extraordinaire (if you don't count the excessive vomiting...oh yeah and my fish is actually the one that is second from the left, but size doesn't really matter, does it?):

There are lots of reasons why I wouldn't win a Mrs. North of Sixty pageant: I don't know how to dog mush, I've never shot a moose, I have never skinned a wolf or made a pair of moccassins and I have yet to lose a finger or toe to frostbite. Thankfully, I plan on living in the Yukon for a very long time, which should give me ample opportunity to do all these things and become the ultimate Mrs. North of Sixty!
