Well, I wait until the snowmobilers have crossed it a few times. They are more likely to go through than a dog team, due to the way their weight is distributed. I have a First Nation's friend who swears that the ice is safe if the wolves have walked on it. I also tend to trust my leaders. Pingo in particular has great trail sense. If she won't cross ice, there's a reason and I don't argue with her. This year we had a month of -30C(all of November), there's no way that ice isn't good after that! It should be safe until mid-April.

Yup, that's what I meant. Yesterday we broke the six hours of daylight mark. Sun rise is at about 10 am and sets just after 4pm. Right now we get about five minutes more of light each day.

I can't belive I missed this thread! Your crew is so gorgeus! I have fallen in love with Anvik. But Mac is such a hansome man also. I love those freckles.

Oops, I almost missed it too. I love that picture of Anvik, he has such a great face (silly boy). And that picture of Ozzy all stretched out is great. Poor Mac, I am betting he has gotten out for a good run by now.
