Oh my goodness, what amazing pictures, and what interesting information. I always love reading your threads. And Antare and Delta, you are such silly boys, it is a good thing you are both so darn cute.

[Randi]

Wow, what wonderful pictures! It must be such a thrill going on these "excursions" - I'd probably freeze to death, but I WOULD like to try it just once.

Did you see any of the expeditions from Greenland? Our future king (Frederik) was on one of these. Such rough conditions.

Thanks for sharing, your pictures amaze me every time.

Wow, that is one thing I have wanted to do all my life. I see you live in Northern Canada. I live in Nova Scotia and the most we've had this winter is a couple of centimetres. It sucks, I wanted way more snow than that.

Those were great pics, I just love the one of them running on the lake. It's a pic you would see in a Discovery Magazine or the movies. Huskies are such strong dogs..and strong willed

Ya know hun I was already impressed now I am just flabbergasted!

*bows in amazement* Thanks so much for thinking of all of us and sharing!
Amazing just amazing pics and such a guilty pleasure to open any of your threads

[kimlovescats]

WOW is all I can say!!! Awesome pictures and to think of what you are doing is amazing! I'm sorry but I have to say it ... BE CAREFUL out there!

I always have an emergency bag on the sled with enough stuff in it to keep me and the dogs alive, if not comfortable,for a night or two. I keep a smaller kit, just some matches, bandages, a knife and handwarmers in waist bag. That way if I loose the team and can't walk home, I can keep myself warm!

Tamara,
WOW - you do so much, and I love the pics you take. But of course, living here in the SUN all the time, I had no idea what you would have to take "in case" your team ran off without you.

Has that happened to you at all? Do you tell hubbie which trail you are going on before you go? Do you have mobile phone reception out there?

Soooooo many questions, apologies for that ....

Oh, no. They keep running - sled and all.
The musher has a long, cold walk home.

Hey Glacier ~

You might SERIOUSLY consider a Mountaineer's or Skiier's "Safety Beacon" to carry with you.
Sends out a signal that can be tracked by a search party.

Be CAREFUL out there!

I have seen some pictures from those expeditions, beautiful but treacherous! My family is Danish so I try to look up Danish news occasionally!
