http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/ Dog Sledding!!! Me on the slalam course during the Mail Run 2007- my first year going. This is where my runners cracked about 10 miles out. Plus, I did an additional 6 miles for the Dash with those cracked runners. Hence the "upgrade" my Dad helped with. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072858 96072858 Mail Run 2007- my first year http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072857 96072857 Mail Run 2007- my first year http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072853 96072853 Mail Run 2007- my first year http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072854 96072854 On the trail at Mail Run 2007-my first year http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072855 96072855 Mail Run 2007- my first year http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072852 96072852 Mail Run 2007- my first year http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072856 96072856 I think this was near Van Winkle, and old town along the gold rush trail that no longer exhists. Mail Run 2007- my first year. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=96072859 96072859 Here I am at the official kick-off event for BC's 150th birthday and the Mail Run event. I have more pictures somewhere of the 2008 season that I will have to load and add here. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563027 95563027 Here is the sled during Winter 2009 prior to the new runners. We had good snow and ice that Winter. 2010 not a flake of snow! http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563031 95563031 Here is my sled after the new runners got put on. I had it up to hand tie all the joints together. No screws in a dog sled to hold it together- only nylon string. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563029 95563029 Here I am sanding down the new runners. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563030 95563030 All clamped up after the new runner strips got steamed and glued. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563032 95563032 My Dad is a master wood worker. I built my sled 100% myself in the Fall of 2007. My Dad did help with the repairs of it for the 2009 season. He knew the best way to attach new runners without having to dismantle the entire sled. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563033 95563033 This year I had 8 siberian huskies that I got from a Veterinarian I met on Sled Dog Central. She used to be a vet for the Iditarod! http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95563028 95563028 Mail Run 2009 with my leads Cash and Kinley. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95580653 95580653 This was Spring of 2010 near Spanaway/Tacoma. I hopped out in traffic to snap their picture. I pointed to my bumper sticker, "I'd rather be driving sled dogs" and they laughed and waved. We don't see people hauling sled dogs in our neck of the woods. http://www.thetreehousehomestead.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=95577152 95577152
