It was a beautiful day for dog sled racing on Sunday! Beautiful for the people but not so much for the dogs - it stayed cloudy and about 29 degrees until just after the unlimited class was done at about 11 - Randy had a clean run with Ultra in lead but was not able to hang on to 7th and dropped to 8th by only 10 seconds!!!!!
When we were done racing we drove back to the hotel Logue where we have been sleeping in the parking lot and where they had the 4 and 6 dog classes - we walked down to the river from the hotel to see "my new best friend in Maniwaki" race in the 6 dog = her name is Kat for short, and unbelievably, she is best friends with a gal (Marie) we met 2 of the years we raced in Alaska - Marie also raced in the Rondy with Randy (that's almost poetic...........) we ended up giving her 3 dogs - she lived in Inuvik (which is almost to the North Pole...........) and now she lives in Calgary- Kat and Marie were childhood friends and rode/trained horses together where they lived in Quebec City - it is really such a small world sometimes!!!!
Now it's Monday morning and we stayed here again last nite - have fed us and dogs breakfast and are just waiting to drop the dogs once more before we leave for Charente - Bellerive's just left a few minutes ago -
Randy was talking to Hermel and supposedly there is a big storm coming Thursday which could mean that they would close the road going to the race this weekend - which would mean that yesterday was out last race! So we will just see how it goes this week!!!

Hope the trip back to Bellerive’s was uneventful. Where is the next race supposed to be? I couldn’t find the Maniwaki race online so couldn’t track that one.
Love you!
