The first teams started arriving on Thursday and by Saturday afternoon the last teams were moving out. I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to get out and see the teams. It was much warmer this year than last but we had blowing snow to start with and by the time they left it was warm and sunny. I was surprised that we had similar amounts of snowfall here when I looked at last years pictures. One thing that did change dramatically was the temperature. Instead of -20F we had temperatures in the teens but that is due to change tonight.

Enjoy these pictures and the video’s. I really like the addition of video and sound as it gives a better fell for what the dogs are like when they arrive. They are active when they arrive and ready to go when it is time to leave.

That is about all I have for now.
