It was a very cold weekend. The outfit I'm wearing in this picture is the outfit that I slept in. I woke up several times in the night because my hands and feet were numb. Luckily, my face managed to stay relatively warm.
This is me meeting some of the dogs for the first time. They were much friendlier than I had expected. I thought they'd be work-focused, but they loved a good petting session!
These are three of the dogs that were on my sled. (l-r) Kopka, Blackie, Stella. Stella was the noisiest of them all, and Blackie and Kopka were the calmest. (Most of the time, anyway...)
These two dogs are Abel and Kopka. Both were extremely friendly, and both loved getting attention.
Buster and Pinhead, the lead dogs on my sled. (Her name is Pinhead because she was born with a very small head. As you can tell, she grew into it.)
We stopped for lunch on the trail. The dogs weren't too pleased about this. They wanted to keep running and hated having to stay in one place. Abel is giving us "the look" in this picture, and the others were barking up a storm.
Me (second from left) with the whole crew of dog sledders. Eight people, 26 dogs. It was an awesome weekend.
