The Waldo road is a gradual up hill for several miles. Snowmobilers frequent it in the winter. Their tracks made an excellent, firm surface for us. Today, except for the tracks of a cross-country skier, we had the road to ourselves. This picture was taken at about one mile up the road. I waited until McKenzie got into the rhythm of pulling in the right direction before letting them turn around. The mile back was fast and fun.

1st Sled Run of the Year
Today we did the first sled run of the year. McKenzie parked herself in the van as I was loading the gear and sled so she too went along. I can't say she was excited about being hooked to the gangline though. I did not put a neck line on her which allowed her to go at her own pace within limits of being run over by the sled.
