Smudge

Laying fresh tracks as we entertain the cars on Highway 9 watching us skijor the Blue River Recreation Path from Breckenridge to Frisco.

Zipping along and providing a nice show for the
cars on Highway 9 to our right.

Unfortunately, most of today's skijor footage is blurred by a big smudge on the camera. It turns out a ball of slush came off Jack or Rudy's feet, hit the camera, and became a blurry spot the rest of the outing. I did not know this had happened until after we got home and I looked at the video footage.

A big smudge on the camera from slush flying off the
feet of the kids in front of me :)

Despite the ugly smudge on the camera, I still wanted to show the nice teamwork from Jack & Rudy. Come watch as we come upon one of the road crossings we encounter on the route from Breckenridge to Frisco. All it takes is a little "Easy, easy" request from me and Jack & Rudy slow to cross the frozen road slowly and gently. Then, once back a solid trail and OFF we go again! Great teamwork preserving the human on the road crossing! These two really understand trail conditions and will slow to keep me safe and upright on sketchy terrain!

We do have to stop a few times along the way to navigate over exposed ground. Well, you know what Jack & Rudy do at any "stop" on the trail :)

Stopping is roll around time!

As we near the end of the outing, we pass by a stable in Frisco. The horses certainly get Jack & Rudy's attention, but not enough of a distraction to stop.

Checking out all the horses as we fly on by the stables!
Good boys!

At least Nancy's camera did not have a big smudge, so we get a nice & clear 'end of run' shot with Zorro.

"I see the bag of treats!" says focused Zorro.
"Fun day - sorry we pelted the camera with slush!" adds Jack & Rudy.
