Wonderful Mindy went to Bend and picked up my new-to-me sled. She said she got a lot of curious looks as she drove with it in the 90 degree heat. I have wanted a second sled for a long time. My sled is a racing sled with no place for passengers. Now I can train other mushers (Mindy first of course) and their dogs. (The yellow paint does have to go).
Dave and the dogs checking out the sled. McKenzie looks exactly like Chinook himself in this picture.
I wanted to stage a picture with Koyuk in the sled and McKenzie and Cedar harnessed to it. This is as close as I got.
Koyuk was not about to jump onto the basket platform. Yes, that is her stomach dragging the ground.
