David Bush

David says he got started mushing when he met the "notorious" Bino Fowler on a job site who turns out was his neighbor.  He started doing tours and the rest is history.  Anytime he can get out at night on the trail is among his mushing highlights and his goals include completing the Triple Crown.  David describes scratching at Salt Creek Summit on the way back a few years ago due to "equipment failure" as one of his most embarrassing dog situations!
