Meet Run Silent Dog Sled Trips

Dog sledding - Northwestern Ontario Wilderness
A Family Affair.

We, the Oberg family, live in Ignace, Ontario Canada. John, a Northern Minnesotan, grew up on the west end of the wild and scenic Echo Trail. He helped his family literally carve a resort out of the wilderness. At the ripe old age of thirteen, John began guiding guests into what is now called the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. He learned a great deal about survival in the woods from his father and other woodsmen.

One day John met Daryl, a native Floridian.
He said, "You are my wife!"
She replied, "Good-bye city life."

     And thus they began their new life together in the north woods.

     No doubt it was a huge adjustment for Daryl. She exchanged bare feet for Sorrel boots, cut off shorts for a snowmobile suit and busy city life for remote wilderness life. But now she enjoys the change of seasons and has become a true pioneer woman braving the different challenges of Northwestern Ontario winters.

     John and Daryl have three precious children; Cherish, Joanna, and Jonathan. Cherish works as an Accredited Staging Professional/ webmaster/secretary at Bear Island Land Co., a real estate office in Ely. Her computer skills have greatly helped us with our website. She also enjoys playing keyboard and writing songs to give praise to God, and released her first CD in August 2002 (Cherish Oberg - Cherish the Glory) with plans for more projects in the future. Jonathan, an Eagle Scout, has his pilot's license and is currently serving in the Air Force. The young woman by his side is his new wife, Reseth, a wonderful addition to our family! They each thoroughly enjoy the different activities each season offers in Ely.

Joanna has joined her parents in Canada and does the majority of the work in the dog kennel, including daily care of the dogs, breeding, training and guiding.  She has an adventurous spirit and is excited about exploring all the trail possiblities surrounding their new home in the wilderness.  Winter dog sled races in Northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota have also required training time, but have been a source of enjoyment for her.

     No one knows exactly how it happened, but in just four years, their dog yard expanded to house about 50 dogs.

     Now the whole family enjoys dog sledding.
