Dolgan woman leads a caravan of Baloks (this could be me one day!)

Went to the library today and had good luck. I checked out a documentary from the Discovery Channel named “Raising the Mammoth”.
My favorite part is a short segment showing Dolgan people moving their Baloks, (homes on sleds), using reindeer to pull them. Its a fantastic sight. Looks like a caravan of square Casitas!
Here is a photo I found on the web, of a Dolgan caravan:

The caption says: A Dolgan woman leads her draft reindeer while travelling across tundra during the winter. Taymyr, Northern Siberia, Russia.
I could do that!!!
Be sure to check out their other great photos of Baloks on the move.
