CO-2 MUSHING

The family before our mushing adventure; sleigh behind Dex and a stout dog beside DW.

Our guide, Val (if ya ever go, request her) introducing us to the dog team. 
Ask the boys the dogs' names...they remember each dog, can share with you their unique markings, bog or girl, Siberian or Alaskan Eskimo and have their favorite. 
I was lucky to remember the guides name.....

Dan preparing to mush and JX in the sleigh.   Val's giving the musher a few last minute pointers on running the team.
These "dudes", the 4 legged guys in the back of the 6 dog team are the stout athletic ones, the jocks of the team.
I do remember that! 

Here is JX mushing and Dan sledding.  The guide was so good about knowing when to let the kids drive, typically up a hill.  We toured through the woods around the Swan River. It was beautiful! Tremendously fun!  A must-do-again adventure!!  We highly recommend it!  You can not imagine how fast these dogs can run...and give  them the advantage of a downhill you best be holding on!
