slept each night on planks in a large
tent that had a wooden floor and
wood-burning stoves.
Because a contingent of observant
Jews from Yeshiva University had
been on the expedition a year earlier,
the guides understood that the
Sherizens and their companions
needed to daven (pray) three times
each day.
"They were completely accommo-
dating," recalled Ari Sherizen, 20.
"They knew exactly what was going
on. When we were chopping wood
and the sun was going down, the
guide said, 'Well, I know it's time for
you guys to pray, so go ahead.' And
they knew we had to wake up early to
daven. We brought extra food for the
guides — they liked our kosher meat."
Supplies were rolled burrito-style
atop the sleds. One person sat on top
of the bundle while the other stood
in skis attached to the back of the
sled and steered the dogs with yelps
like "Gee!" "Haw!" and "Whoa!"
"let's go' in a Canadian accent
will get them to start," Ari said.
He considers chopping through
foot-thick ice to extract their drink-
ing water the highlight of the trip.
"The water was really clean. We had
no stomach aches," he said.
But the first morning was a jolt:
temperatures hovered in the 30 below
zero range.
"For that first hour, I was freezing
cold. I thought I was going to die,"
said Ari. "My fingers were numb and
my face was frozen, but after that I was
warm. I was sweating my brains out."
Yoni Sherizen, 21, said he liked
the winter camping, and while he's
"dogged out" for a while, he'd
"absolutely" do it again.
"The beauty of Algonquin Park
and the sense of adventure, the chal-
lenge of winter camping and the
uniqueness of dog sledding were the
things that drove us to do it," he
said.
Nonetheless, Yoni's feelings about
domesticated dogs really didn't
change. "I still don't like regular
dogs now," he said. "These [sled-
ding] dogs only would bark at other
dogs, not at humans."
The trip lifted Ari's phobia about
dogs, though probably only tem-
porarily.
"I thought these dogs were great
dogs. They didn't sniff us, lick us or
bark at us," he said. "They bark
when they stop because they want to
keep moving and they bark when
there's food around — but don't we
also?" E
