[Niniel]

Hm, Sooh was too quick! I think she is right.

[Rhea]

You northern people!

 

Yes...Sooh is right! Just once it is! 

 

To safety she and her team pull in...safe at last!

 

[Rhea]

Will anyone pull ahead?

 

Answer this question correctly and find out!

 

What is a "toque"?

[Niniel]

It´s a hat!

[Rhea]

Well, well...well!

 

I was starting to think you two and those silly pups got lost in the tundra!

 

Yes...it is a hat!

 

[Elgee]

... ask me something WoT related! rofl

[Rhea]

Hahaha!!!  Mother....are you staying warm in that sled?

 

 

 

Answer this question and move your sled dog team!

 

What animal has the densest, warmest fur on earth?

[eternalangel]

Polar bear.

 

Edit: turned answer from question to statement though I'm really still guessing.

[Rhea]

No..polar bear it is not! 

 

Though I see one over there...you might want to get out the bear spray!

 

[eternalangel]

Oh no bear spray. May I guess again or is it too soon? Do I have wait for another contestant?

[Rhea]

keep guessing...first come first serve! This is a race!

[eternalangel]

Arctic seal?

[Sooh]

I have no idea. Perhaps a grizzly bear?

[Niniel]

I'll guess... an otter?

[Niniel]

... ask me something WoT related! rofl

Totally agree. :D

[Rhea]

I'll guess... an otter?

 

Tina & Elgee pull ahead of the pack! They reach White Mountain just in time for dinner. 

 

[Rhea]

Story time!

 

"In 1925, the children of Nome came down with the widely feared disease called diphtheria. The closest anti-toxin was 1000 miles away in a hospital in Anchorage. The train could only take the medicine so far, and it was up to mushers with teams of sled dogs to transport the package the remaining 674 miles.

 

Twenty mushers and their sled dogs battled the bitter cold in a relay to get the medicine there safely. It took 127.5 hours to complete the mission, but the medicine made it to the village. The final leg was completed by a black Siberian husky and his team. When finally reaching their destination, the dogs were hailed as heroes and appeared in newspapers across the country."

 

Can you tell me the title of the children's movie based on this bit of history? If so, you can move on!

 

Hurry now...it's getting dark again!

[eternalangel]

Iron Will?

[Elgee]

So glad we're doing so well ...rofl.

[Rhea]

Iron Will?

 

No, that is not correct!

 

So glad we're doing so well ...rofl.

 

Ar you enjoying the ride?  Tina is a good Musher!

[Rhea]

Uh oh....eternalangel's dogs have gone off course and dumped her in a snow bank! 

 

[eternalangel]

Balto? I remember a kids book about the dog. Not sure if that is the name of the movie though.

[Rhea]

And she's up again!

 

eternalangel's team manages to get it together and slides on in to White Mtn!

 

Nice job!

 

By the way...I love the movie Balto! You should watch it!
