Conor is "helping" his Dad make some adjustments to the sled.This next week will be a very busy, hectic time for us. I leave on Thursday for Whitehorse, as the YQ300 mushers have a mandatory driver/handler meeting, followed by our vet check. It's a long drive, so Alyssa, Laura, Inge and I will be pretty tired as we make it to the capital of the Yukon Territory. But, with the meetings set for the afternoon, we should be able to get a few hours of shut eye. Manny is running the team right now, as I type. He just called me from the top of the fireline. He says the dogs are running good, even though it's hot with punchy trails. He's stopping every so often to let the dogs munch snow and roll around in the cool stuff to keep them from overheating. Who would have thought that overheating the dogs would be a worry the 1st day of February in Two Rivers, Alaska?!?! CRAZY, Baaaby!
Until next time.....
