Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race -- Day 2

Matt's time on his second run was 01:05:16. Just a little faster than the first one! Here's a few more pictures. Getting ready to go At the start line Click here  to see a video of him leaving. Sorry it's sideways and a little blurry at first -- I forgot that videos don't rotate and there was a smudge on my lens. The "kitchen" I wasn't kidding when I told you they took a pile of blankets. I'm not real sure where they slept...

Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race -- Day 1

Matt ran his first dogsled race today! This is a two-day event, so he will run again tomorrow. Today was mostly just a practice run, for the youth, then tomorrow it is actually a race. He did about 8 miles in 1:05:55. I (Grace) was the designated photographer, so here are a few pictures from the day.  Rocky, rarin' to go This is his set-up for the weekend -- Matt and Emily are camping in the trailer. There's not much room in there, but it sounds like it's working fine. At the start line I went down the trail to take pictures as he left. Here he comes! Going back to the truck We'll be sure to post more pictures and let you know how he does tomorrow! Oh, by the way, Happy Groundhog Day!!!!
