Aria
Mascot
With three years of life experience under her belt, Aria feels qualified to loudly express her opinions to anyone who will listen. At eight weeks of age she arrived in California via airplane from Tennessee. Soon she plans to hitch-hike northward to explore her Alaskan Malamute roots and her sled dog heritage. Her immediate design goal is to build a prototype howl-commanded solar powered sled that will pull her and her friends around in a snowy landscape. |
