Tuesday in Charette


Well, it was snowing big beautiful flakes last nite and this morning it is drizzling….quite a turnabout in 12 hours!  Hermel came to the dog barn early this morning to train the 9 9-month-olds they have.  It looked like they may have used Randy’s suggestion to run the crazy young dogs single instead of trying to get them to stay on their own side and learn to run ahead.
Claude stopped by to invite us to the Sugar Shack (their cabin up behind the house where they make their maple syrup) for dinner tonite – it must be the right time to begin boiling the sap because he said he would be up there to start the fire to boil at 4 or 5p –   It’s been about 6 years since we stayed up there – our truck and trailer combos have been to big to be able to drive up there and turn around again. 
Not much else going on today – don’t know if we will train tomorrow.  Randy walked out on the trail today and said it was better than what he raced on but does have slush on top of it.
