This week we got a bit of Spring Fever! With temperatures in the 20s, 30s, and even 40 degrees, our family decided it was time to break out the four-wheeler and take it for a spin around the yard a little. Connor practiced driving with Samantha behind him as well. He is a cautious one, but getting more comfortable on it every time.
Then on Thursday, Jayne Hempstead invited me to go for a ride out the Denali Hwy with her and the dogs! It was very enjoyable and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day; nice temperatures, beautiful sunshine, no wind, and dogs that were excited to pull the sleds. We passed a few other teams heading the opposite direction just after we got started.
This is me standing on the sled behind the dogs. We stopped for a few minutes on Gas Lake to let the dogs cool down a bit.
We had to unhitch the dogs and put them back in their boxes on the trailer before driving the 2 miles back to town. What a fun experience!

Cool Erin!
ReplyDeleteSo...tell me. In another lifetime in your wildest dreams, did you ever imagine yourself being a sled dog musher? :) Such fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time that must have been. I can see you doing that, Erin; you've always been one who is up for an adventure! I like being able to recognize that area after having seen it with you last year. Love, Mom(heart)
