HIKE


Well thats the new word for "go" when I want Champ to start mushing. He is proving to be a real sled dog. Christmas Eve found us on the Kenai Peninsula headed to the Barber Cabin on Russian Lake, a really nice cabin owned by the USFS. We had it booked for Christmas Eve and Christmas night so the sled was loaded with lots of goodies. About 80 lbs worth and Champ didn't miss a beat pulling it all the way. He was a bit tired as we crossed the frozen lake on the last leg to the cabin but all in all I was impressed. I also felt a tad bit guilty as all I did was drive!

Weather was really mild the entire time. From the mid twenties when we left Anchorage to an almost balmy 40 on our return to the parking lot at the Russian River Campground. Was that rain we felt?

By the way, monopoly is the new gin rummy! Better luck next time David.
