Wed cont.

So here it is 12:30 and we have yet to eat anything - as soon as I post this we will move back up behind the clubhouse where I don't have internet again -

This is how the celebrity radio guy's ride went........His radio name is Johnny T-bone and he will be on the radio doing interviews downtown all 3 days of the race.
We were only going to do a ride if he really wanted to .....come to find out, that was the only thing he was planning to do - so we put both sleds out and used 5 of my 6-dog team and Randy gave his sled driving basics while I harnessed - they took off planning to do 2.3 miles and even though Christine Tozier had blocked the trail Spiff tried to through the fence because that is the way he has gone all 10 or so times he has run the trail - then they missed the 2.3 mile turn off because it wasn't blocked off - and Mr. T-bone fell 3 times in 4.5 miles.........one of the times was just before going over the bridge so Randy heard my sled "crack" and thought oh, no, there goes the $2000 sled.....no damage that we can see. So Mr. T-bone comes with some cotton gloves on and not dressed very warm and before he goes out I get him some of our mitts so at least his hands wouldn't freeze!! He almost forgot to give them back before he left! Like Christine and Randy said, he will have a whole new appreciation for dogsled drivers after his experience!! Could it have been that it's kind of hard to double sled (Randy says that the back sled is better for a novice because if you are in the middle the wheel dogs pull you into the edge of the corner). I guess we will never know but it may be a very good thing we didn't send him out with a team by himself!!

Bye for now - have to make us some food!!!
