It’s All Relative(s)
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Not much time for text, so just a few photos of the family that’s up visiting us. Here are a few pics of Cole’s sister Russet (above and below - driving), and Joseph’s Dad and mom from Florida, getting their first sled dog rides and introduction to some of the chores.
After last minute packing today, Cole heads for Anchorage to take part in her mandatory pre-race meetings tomorrow. Joseph will stay home with the dogs to keep them in their natural element as long as possible. On Friday, he’ll load them up and head north for the Ceremonial Start of the race on Saturday morning.
We’ll continue to update the blog as often as we can, but be patient as things are extremely hectic right now around the kennel.
Russet gets some time on the runners, while Cole nervously rides in the basket.
Joseph’s dad getting his first sled ride. There was barely enough snow to make it happen, but he still had a blast.
You have to look closely, but bundled up in Cole’s sled bag is Joseph’s step-mom Lynn having the time of her life.
Joseph’s dad cutting salmon. He got to see many aspects of keeping sled dogs.
