It's great having the whole dog lot on the lake, with no difficult downhill on which to hold back avid dogs. The mountain (Denali ) was "out" but subdued with haze. It may show up in some photos.
When we started out, it was minus two with almost no wind; once out on the lake a bit, the wind picked up and it was quite cold, even though the temps were around ten degrees. Spectators made a mass exodus after about 20 teams had taken off.
