No, we haven't learned how to mush, but at the end of February Mark and I help out with the races. They take place here in the fort, starting at the park just around the corner from our house. Mark is one of the official photographers and I wave the flag to start the race and do other miscellaneous jobs that need being done. It was a great weekend - a little stormy on Friday, but nice Sat and Sun. There is a variety of sprint races - 4 dog, 6 dog and 10 dog; a stage race 150 miles over three days; a junior race; a kid and mutt race and a politicians' race. Here are some photos from the weekend...
Oh, and check out the news report on CKPG-TV.
