The Butcher Formally known as John Parker, otherwise known as The Butcher to the dogs. A small shop with large glass windows sits in the center of town. Two small steps lead onto a large wooden deck. Just to the right is a glass door, the entrance to the shop. John doesn't mind when the dogs sleep on the deck as long as they don't bother customers. If you want food, you'll have to go to the back and wait and if you're lucky John will feed the scraps of meat he has left over to any straying dog that comes to his door.

Midpoint Ah yes, Midpoint. This is a wonderful place brimming with many humans and other dogs of all shapes and sizes. The long stretch of sidewalk and road are the paths to many shops of all varieties. Every once and a while the odd cat will pass by. Many of the house dogs can also be found here. Generally most of the shop owners don't like dogs badgering them but quite often human children will drop easy snacks. Midpoint is often more or not where the official sledding races start off and end.

Gather Place Well known and accurately named. Gather Place is the gathering place for all dogs, from sled dogs to the common house dog. In the center of town is a large tavern. Three wide steps lead upon a wide, wooden deck. Inside there are many humans moving about and talking, often drunk and playing loud music. A hole beneath the stairs outside is a small dirt pathway that leads beneath the tavern. A set up of many boxes, blankets and other interesting things. Cracks in the floor provide much needed light. This, is the Gather Place or as some call it 'The Hangout'.

Richard Smith Residence Sled team one's abode. Their musher Richard Smith lives here and all his dogs. Just on the outskirts of town is a small shack looking like home with a small porch. A tall, wire fence surrounded the entire property yet the wooden gate always remained open. The backyard is literally huge. Many crates and tipped over barrels could be seen scattered across the snowy lot, these were the homes of the dogs. There are large tires, blocks of wood and various other things for the dogs to chew on. The snow in the backyard was thin and beaten down from all the dogs running and laying in it. Richard rarely lets his dogs inside the house, so don't even try unless he invites you. He always lets his dogs wander off and do as they please, but you must always return when he calls or you will be punished.

Meadow Just as the name suggests. Meadow is well, a meadow. The snow out here is much thicker then in town. The meadow is about the size of two football fields in length. Thick pine tree's stand tall, surrounding the whole area giving it that secluded feel. More often then not, mushers come out here to train their novice dogs or merely don't have enough time to go to the trails so they run their dogs here. You can generally find dogs come here alone just to practice their skills and stretch their legs.

Warning Forest This forest is well known as Warning Forest, however that is not it's real name. No dog really knows it's real name. This if often one of the routes for the more advanced mushers. The large tree's are closely grown together, making travel on sled rather tough. Many rocks and precipitous slopes are everywhere, making even the toughest dog nervous when pulling. The snow seems to be thinner here which is a nice upside to the place. Everyonce and a while the odd dog can be seen here, practicing the trails.

Mountain The mountain, everyone knows it. It's peaks reach high into the heavens. The trail from Warning Forest leads to the foot of this behemoth mountain. Steep and serpentine, this giant is no force to be reckoned with. Trust me on this one, greenhorn's beware because you do not want to get stuck on this mountain. Many mushers and their dogs only make it half way up, once past the middle marker it gets even worse.. colder, rockier and ridged. Many tree's can be found, placed randomly here and there. Also be careful you don't set off an avalanche.

Pond The pond is a popular destination with younger dogs. Not many humans at all know of this place, I guess you could call it a human free haven. Many large tree's surround the area, making it secluded and private. The snow is thicker here however the pond is rock solid. So yes, you guessed it! You can ice skate, well.. you can try anyways. If you look closely into the ice and I mean, press your face against it, you can see fish swimming around down near the bottom. Every once and a while the random deer will come by and hope to relax or have quick nibble on the reeds.

Overhang A small ridge that looks out across the whole town and forest. Overhang is one of the best, most calming places known to dog. During the day it's rather boring but at night it's simply breathtaking. Many gorgeous and brilliant colors shine in the skies like a giant rainbow of swirling hues that loom over the town. Despite the beauty this place provides, it is also very dangerous. The Overhang is a long ways down and any dog that slip will surely fall to their demise below this is why pups and younger are adviced not to come here alone.
