Pretty good trip - made it in 5.5 hours instead of the 4.5 predicted by the phone.............good driving weather -lots of hills and curves as we were driving through the Laurentian Mountains - must have seen at least 10 ski resorts on the way!!!!! some looked to be bigger than when Amy and I skied in Colorado!!!!! I took some pictures but am having trouble downloading them to the computer again............
got here about 4 and parked and fed and went in to the draw - Randy got 7 - out of 10 so not so bad - at first we thought there would be head-on passing so he planned to use Rusty and Island in lead - turned out that there was a birm between the outgoing and incoming so there wasn't any head-on - the trail started out to be pretty hard but by the time they raced today at 11 am it was getting pretty soft with sun and a temp of 37 - Randy didn't have any real problems just that Rusty, who we thought had lost her drive because she was in season, appears to have really lost her drive because she didn't pull hard today either - so tomorrow back to our "elderly" 7 year old speed demon, Ultra in lead!!! Randy ended up 7- just the same as he left - and with only 28 seconds behind 6th perhaps he will gain a place tomorrow!!! Oh yeah - his average speed today was 19.45 mph - not too shabby!!! the winning team of JR Saucier was 21.02 mph!!!!
Tonite is a mushers dinner in the beautiful hotel on the river with us having chosen taco salad - all you can eat!!!
