In other news…

You may recall Jeff talking about the beautiful sled that he had made by David Klumb? Well the crew finally got the gee-pole on it and took it out for a spin on the lake yesterday!

A gorgeous day for a spin ’round the lake! Don’t let the sunshine fool you – a bit chilly at more than 20 below.

Jeff rides the sled, Tracey is skiing and figuring out the gee-pole, while Tyler pulls them in circles around the lake.

After a quick lunch of Donna’s homemade mac & cheese (yum!) and some of Jeff’s excellent coffee the entire crew headed off to the Denali Highway today. Jason & Tracey will be running double sleds with Dave’s yearling/Iditarod team while Dave & Caroline get some more time on double sleds with Jeff’s race dogs in preparation for next weeks Denali Doubles. (My money is on them!) Jeff & Tyler will be headed across the highway on snow machines to scope out the race trail and make a stop at Maclaren for a visit (and most likely some of Suzi’s great cooking!)

We’ll be in touch again soon!

Happy Trails,
Carrie
