| Steep climb to Russell Pond Taking a break at the vista parking area |
| Pretty sure we're looking North East here maybe at the back of Waterville Valley |
| Reaching the top Yahboo stops to read the sign welcoming us to Russell Pond |
| Nestled behind the trees is Russel Pond - quite beautiful |
| We couldn't hang around as the snow was melting. Further along this downhill section, we pretty much rode over blacktop with little snow and slush over it. Hoping we didn't encounter a moose.... we would have been in trouble! |

| Early morning run fresh snow on the ground Diva running single lead infront of her pups at the grand age of 10 1/2 !! Below Diva co-lead with her daughter Zsa Zsa who is turning out to be like her mom |
| Heading back from Russell Pond Diva and Zsa Zsa in lead it was getting warm and we had done lots of hill climbing |
| Heading back from Hick Mountain We've had a great winter so far, breaking trail is just so wonderful * The tracks to the left of my team were fresh coyote tracks |
| After a good 20 mile run the day warmed up as we got back to the truck Tonka fell right asleep and was incredible cute! |
| More Winter 2008 Photos The year for many miles of adventure!! |
| Today was the day for a true wilderness adventure. almost 12 hrs on the trail running dogs, taking a couple of short snack breaks and then staking out the dogs for a 3hr break while we cooked dinner on the stove |
| Half way through our semi-camping day It was warm, Zuddi and Lilly chill out together while taking a much deserved break. My sled could not have carried any more gear! It was bursting! |
| A little surprised to be in 5 inches of snow.. with no fresh snow elsewhere! Below, time for a nap...Rosie and Yahboo have shut eye while I take photos |
A day to stay local, the river was beautiful with large chunks of ice stacked on rocks from when the river was flowing after recent rain. Nice tight tugs about 16 miles into our run... |
| Heading back up Sandwich Notch Road, dogs marching away as we come to the end of our long run. 4 plus hours on the trail in 40 degree heat!! They did well for fuzzies on a warm day. Bobby and Lilly will really tight tugs as we climb and climb, not looking overheated at all, they coped well with the effort and the heat of the day... and its only January !!! |
