Hi Friends

"Hi Friends!!!" says Zorro as we pass by a paused team of 8 sled dogs from Good Times Adventures on the trails at Swan Valley.
Happy Siberian Huskies as excited to see and greet Zorro as Zorro is to
see and flirt back :)
Zorro loves getting on the trails at Swan Valley as that means we get to cruise around the fast trails looking for dog sled teams to run with, flirt with and have a great time with. Here we come flying along the trail as an 8 dog team crosses in front of us and little Jack (with Nancy) watch from the right. Fun for all!

Little Jack and Nancy are just off the trail to our front right as well.
A meeting of the sled dogs :)
Today's video highlight goes along with the first photo above. Come along as Zorro and I are flying along the fast trails until we come upon the team paused. The trail is a bit narrow, so I shorten the gangline, give Zorro a little verbal instruction and we perfectly pass on-by before restarting our skijor sprint. Such a good Zorro!!!

End of the day's run and look who needs to cool off (not the one who did all the skijoring work :)
"Oh man, so hot - must roll to cool off!!!" demonstrates silly Jack.
"Hey, watching & cheerleading is exhausting too!!!!" adds funny Jack.
Sometimes we encounter many sled dog teams on these trails; but this morning's outing only had two fun encounters. Oh well, it was still a blast flying around the trails and 2 meetings is better than none!
"Yes, yes indeed! 2 is way better than 0 and going fast is a blast!" declares happy Zorro.

A zooming day with the occasional encounter with dog teams on the trails: 8.3 miles traveled with 600 feet of elevation climbed and a top speed of 20 MPH.

2017/2018 Season to Date: 25 days on the trails covering 178.4 miles with 15,600 feet of elevation climbed.
