Being we never run them nor have we trained for them, well other then one time and that didn't go over at all...this may be a challenge.
Getting in some hill work, limited as it is compared to what the Mush for a Cure trail will have.
last run near Oxbow park on snowmobile trail from Pine Island, woods, hilly, narrow, fast packed trail. a lot of fun with some long steep hills... after 10 miles of more open areas we come to the wooded section and make it to the first downhill switchback turn (of several) to see a kamikaze squirrel in the trail.......
I ride the 2 brake spikes to the 3rd switchback at the bottom of the hill/ravine... Cool, I lived..they stick to the trail following the leads..Hang ONNNN were now off again in hot pursuit of what must be the last deer in the area after the DNR CWD kill of 400.. and apparently he feels hunted now BIG TIME! me the hollering blaze orange coat wearing hunter flying along behind a pack of 8 wolfs as far as this deer must be concerned,so we fly up the other hill side and proceed to whip through the rest of this 2.5 miles of woods, I am sure the team figures that damn squirrel is around each corner waiting again.
Leads- Vatyna and Vixen are working well together... , once in a while when traveling at speed we have had a few wild ride moments with last minute corrections, But overall getting better with dealing with all sorts of distractions, loggers with pick ups working to clear trail, a variety of bridges, Snowmobiles, farm yard cattle, horses near the trail.. the A litter 4 are solid calm hard workers in the middle and Nuchok and Tsarko running single file behind them,
Have to see how the booting goes...
We sure would appreciate more pledges towards our team.. Being a FUNdraiser we are competing for Highest Dollar Amount of Pledges, Highest Number of Pledges, First Team TO THE Gunflint, Pink Lantern and the crowd-pleasing Best Dressed Dog Team.
A pink lantern ? we will try to avoid that...
Mush for a Cure go to the donate area on the left side and enter "team #15" in the purpose area..
THANKS
