Friday, Team Nookies loaded up in the motorhome and headed over the pass for the 2nd annual Mush without Slush race. Eugene got a record 3" of rain that day. We drove by flooding rivers and through a mountain blizzard. Marlene drove all the way from Seattle with her two Chinooks to join us in the very wet Oregon desert. Saturday morning the slushless mush looked like a muck mush. 
Cedar "camping"
Team Nookies racing in the rain. Poor Koyuk came into season and had to wear panties. Poor Oscar was crazed. I opted not to add him to the team.
Nearing the finish line.
There were some large teams and some small teams. Bored Huskies waiting to run. 
finally on the trail - a finish by the nose
Sunday we awoke to snow
and the winner is - weighing in at 50 pounds...
Oscar and Cedar on the course
We had 6 Chinooks at the event. By the time this picture was taken, both Cedar and Koyuk were in season. I had to hold them back from the males.
Returning over the pass, we again hit a blizzard. Cedar and Koyuk were more than glad to run about in the Oregon rain forest once we finally got down out of the slow going snow and ice.
"About time mom. I really did need to pee"
