Need adventure suggestions

If you are thinking about Alaska as has been suggested, in winter when you can see northern lights, and a sleddog mushing adventure, you also might time a trip to coincide with some of the great dog races there. There are some big spring races (faster, shorter, more exciting) as well as the more famous distance ones. You might contact race officials in advance and offer your help, a possible way for them to participate in an event and not be charged a fee.

I was there March 11-18 with the Ice Art on display from the int'l competition; also got to watch the three days of the North American Sled Dog Championships (three days of short sprints) and several nights of spectacular aurora viewing! There was no fee to watch the sled dog races so no need to worry about needing to volunteer. With that being said, there is a racing association there in Fairbanks that would probably accept your willingness to help.
