Dumping the 220lb Passenger

It was about time I dumped the 220lb passenger and handed him his own team.  So I did just that. I had enough gear to run two teams and so, Richard had 4 dogs and I took 5 dogs.  Our first time in a very long time that we ran two teams together.  Usually if Richard has chance to run with us he's on a tandem sled or occasionally riding in my sled.  Conditions were not so great to be adding more dogs to each team.  I thought it better to be safe and give Richard chance to find his musher feet and let him manage a small team for starters!  Now he's hooked !!!
