Yesterday it was over freezing and the trail was melting down to the ground while we were helping Claude and Melanie train 4 teams of dogs (2 6-dog and 2 16-dog) - the sun was out but it was windy so I had to dress warm - we were riding on the 4 wheeler with the winter bulldozer tracks on it and were the trail guards to block the other trails so the teams would not go off the trail onto the snowmobile trails that are all around the dog training trails.
That took until 3:30 and it was time to make doggy dinner - after that Randy went out to drag/smooth the trail twice because the temp had dropped so fast he hadn't had a chance to get too it so it started freezing in lumps.
Today Randy is working on fixing the bed of his sled where it broke into pieces at some time - it was a good thing he noticed it because it may not have held if he had to put a dog in the bag - I am sure it also makes the sled less stable steering with a big crack in it! Then we are going to train 20 dogs as soon as he goes over the trail again to get the bumps out. Not much else going on.......just staying warm....it is only 12 degrees today!
