Last Saturday Mom, Matt, Laura, and I went to a dog sled race that takes place near Red Cliff. It was a fun, new experience, and neat to see all the dogs, equipment, and sleds. We got to watch the mushers hook up there dogs and start the race!
“Hike”
Black dogs,
and white dogs
And spotted dogs too.
Here is Ruth, a musher we know. She is the one who helped us find Matt’s dogs. She is at the start line and ready to go out on the family run, a 6-7 mile race. (Sign says Start and the other side says Finish, because the trails are loops. – So even though it looks like she is crossing the finish line, she is actually just starting.)
There is also a youth race that uses the same track as the family run. Here are a couple kids ready to head out. The kids usually had 4 dogs pulling their sleds.
We watched all the mushers start, and then hung around and tried to stay warm for a while and then we got to see a bunch of them come back in.
Matt really enjoyed the day…
(And the rest of us did too.)
