The Mascot - This is Akira. She is a free-spirited, talkative, stubborn Siberian Husky. On the majority of outdoor activities that we plan and enjoy, Akira is with us. She became our unofficial, and now official mascot. Whenever my wife and I were ready to throw in the towel and turn around or quit, she was always pulling us forward. That intensity and thirst for adventure is what has always pushed us to the next destination.
