Holiday Mush With Hubby On A Tandem Sled

Within the first mile along Sandwich Notch Road, we encountered our second and rather large fallen tree. I had my saw with me and so, we set about sawing the obstruction and making it safe for our return decent. It was good to have Richard with me as I could delegate the task!

Our Most Favorite View In Sandwich Notch

Right infront of the Crowley house, the snow was coming in and dusk was upon us. Such a beautiful setting. With the low clouds you cannot see the spectacular mountains in the background. From the visible grass, we still need more snow.... but that's coming and is doing so as I type!

Heading Along The Trail At Dusk

Along the Sandwich Notch Trail at dusk. Just a few weeks ago I ran into two moose, not something you really want to experience by dog team but as this has happened to us multiple, multiple times.... I hate to say 'we are getting used to it'. Mother moose came out of the woods directly infront of my leaders and waited. Then out came a rather large baby moose who was startled by my team and ran down the trail. Sandwiched between both mother and baby moose, I had to make the decision to pull the hooks and chase the baby into the woods and hope that mommy moose would then head into the woods too. That's exactly what happened.
Anyway, we saw lots of moose prints but at least I wasn't alone this evening.

A Rare Photo Opportunity

Taking outside the Crowley House on Sandwich Notch Road... Richard leaves his tandem sled to take a shot of yours truly. This is one of our most favorite places.

Tandem Hubby

The last few winters, Richard has been able to come along with us and ride a tandem sled. He likes doing that as he gets to run a lot with the team and work on his own personal fitness in preparation for his skiing. Plus, it gives my 10 dogs in harness a heck of a workout pulling the two of us, my loaded sled, through the mountainous terrain of Sandwich Notch and similar areas.
