Hobo Jim sings a song called "The Wilderness Way" and that is what this morning's run was... a beautiful wilderness way... cold, at zero when we were hooking up the first team.
The first team was led by Skinny and Liller and ran smoothly, very fast on nine miles . They were clocking at 18mph until she used the drag to hold them back a bit. The trails were very fast. Pup, Sherpa , ran on this team , and she ran well takes it all in stride.
The second team led by Lillen and Buffy met a herd of deer just off to their left. As I watched from behind it appeared the dogs were voting to run into the forest and check them out.
They must have revoted, as they went on for a great run, they too, running nine miles. Pup, Stella ran on this team and responds very well, listens... sometimes runs far over to avoid ice in her face. We were passed by two machines on this run and Yepa, white wheel dog, Martin's daughter, is a bit afraid, but she's doing very well.
One bootie was shredded (Buffy's ) so the trails are tough on feet. We need snow, but it was very beautiful crossing the river and passing the ponds.
