Blairstown, NJ, USA
Kim DarstWoo hoo - get this - Kim is a HELICOPTER PILOT! Can't wait to see how she and her dog team arrive in Marquette. More will be posted on this mystery woman from New Jersey as it is received....Okay, here it is direct from Kim herself: "I have been racing dogs for about 7 years. This year with the weather being so bad we have only done the Eagle Lake 100 in Eagle Lake ME where we placed 11th. Last year we had more snow on the East Coast and did the Can-Am 30 finishing in 9th place, the Stratford 30 coming in first place and the Craftsbury 30 for 6th place. I am a helicopter pilot by trade and own and operate a flight school teaching people how to fly airplanes and helicopters. I am single and 36 years old. My kennel consists of my 23 Alaskan Huskies and my Samoyed house dog Joey. My leaders will probably be Sapphire and Maple. They are both Alaskans and are 4 and 5 respectively."
