Should Be Muddy!
In one way we are grateful for dry trails so training is not so muddy this spring, but the trail is hard and dusty. Mushing in New Hampshire seems to take on a different look at each part of the season. Our Fall training was almost always experienced in the rain or at least with very muddy trails. Didn't stop the dogs from barking up a storm and howling with glee. Then the winter Sled Dog excursions in Waterville Valley finally got underway with a decent snow base and the frequent snow flurries and cold temperatures kept things moving along quite nicely. Then winter left us early and our sled dog excursions came to a halt, but because of the lack of snow, mud season didn't hang around too long and so we were back up and mushing again. We are keeping the dogs running and working on new leaders for next season's Sled Dog adventures in the glorious White Mountains
