FBF: Winding Through The Trees

Are you missing the snow and cool winter temperatures? Craving the view from the back of a dog sled? Well, sit back, relax and enjoy today's Flash Back Friday as it takes us back to the middle of winter in January 2012.

As Aliy said: "Our training runs are always exciting.

Some of the trails that we travel on are fit predominately for dog teams (and a few hardy cross country skiers.) As you will see in this video, the narrow winding trail would be difficult for a snow machine or any other motorized vehicle to maneuver.

You will notice, with a team of 14 sled dogs, it is challenging to see the entire string. But, with Beemer and Scruggs up front, and Dingle and Pud in swing, the team was confident we would get where we needed to go. As we wind through the forest, you can see the leaders already turning around the next bend!

I watched this footage in regular speed, then fast and then slow. I thought it was pretty neat at all speeds..... so, enjoy!"
