I don't know about you, but this says... Let's Do It!!! This is the beginning of the Denali Highway, which is about 135 miles, and great for training sled dogs in the winter months. Scott and I took his 18 dogs and a tag sled, my sled tied to his, and went about 60 miles. Never have I been surrounded by so many mountains. Not like the little ant hills we have back home, just raw beauty, but it makes YOU feel like an ant. We had an amazing run and the dogs... they made it look so easy and did it in great time! Scott was so impressed. I love it when he gets so amped up about these guys, he's like a little boy talking about his first time catching a fish or riding in a fire truck... and he got to blow the horn. It makes me feel awesome to know that I have someone that is teaching me that's in it for all the right reasons. Just don't tell him I told ya so... Ha!
I wasn't able to get any shots, but we saw a couple herds of Caribou and a couple moose. The moose were right on the road and the dogs wanted that second moose! Scott had his break on, and so did I and they were still pulling us. Talk about strength.

Dope loves the camera, he's the one looking. |
The next day I took some photos for Mike of him running with his dogs. I got a few good ones, but man, snow and cameras... not cool. This one was my favorite and the second shot I took!
