The Great Maltese Circumglobal Trophy Dash (http://home.earthlink.net/~oldmaltese/TrophyDash.html) one year took contestants to Lapland pursuit of a Communist spy named Rudolph, who had some acquaintances among the herds there (think about it). We stopped at a store for equipment, and the shopkeeper said, “You’re in luck – now is the discount of our winter tents.”
