It was so funny to watch humans being strapped up to pull the sled and the husky riding in the back. (am thinking the dog would have preferred to have pulled rather than ride cause those humans didn't look too stable).Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-61096564090323017152010-03-03T07:28:14.683-06:002010-03-03T07:28:14.683-06:00Would love to see that in person - how fun!!

But this is pretty cool, too. Although . . . $1,500 top prize doesn't seem like much when you have to feed that many puppies . . . I guess it's the love of the sport. I don't know what is it about a team of sled dogs that makes me long to do it, too . . . Then, I remember I don't like snow and come back to my senses.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051950012579346329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-65561220834525871532010-03-03T06:53:41.763-06:002010-03-03T06:53:41.763-06:00How cool is this?!

Never would have thought of that in a million years.<br /><br />And I just had to comment about them having a law that you have to be off the ice by a certain time. Natural consequences aren't enough of a deterrent to get them off of it? How did people manage to survive without that law? (sorry, can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not). It just seems silly to me to actually have a law about that!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183514983955004655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-77868198919889215342010-03-03T05:48:44.315-06:002010-03-03T05:48:44.315-06:00Very cool!

(Love how you build anticipation through the series of shots....I thought I'd missed reading something after the first photo....glad I kept reading!)<br /><br />2) Stuff has to be off the ice, by law. That's just comical to me....we're excited to have enough ice to stand on about a foot from shore without cracking it!--smehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00016133909371777439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-21449387487035627632010-03-02T21:42:23.827-06:002010-03-02T21:42:23.827-06:00What a cool post!

How fun that they race on the river--it's a ready-made course. Growing up, my grandpa had a fish shanty, so we used to ice fish every winter. It was NOT like the deluxe heated, electrified, insulated mini-homes that pass for shanties these days. Wimps. How can you tell you're ice fishing if you're not cold?pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709075846870284285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-35261445153745263952010-03-02T18:32:30.289-06:002010-03-02T18:32:30.289-06:00That is SO cool!

It gets so exciting this month with all the people visiting. I'm sure I'll have some mushing pics up too in a couple week. TFS!!Estherhttp://www.estherpedersonblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
