Gardening is on hold & pretty much everything else .... totally engrossed in Iron Dog Snow Machine race ... been going on all week & everyone is exhausted from following the race (lots of index fingers worn out hitting the ‘refresh’ button on GPS tracking. Today is the last day - big finish at Big Lake. Race started with 29 sleds, down to 13 at the start this morning ... one breakdown, one crash ... now 11. Another sled is pinging ‘zero’ (the Canadians, doggone it - they’ve become fan faves & family members flew in to be at the finish waiting for them).
Icy creeks, two sleds caught on fire, illness, crashes, mechanicals, ‘moose menace’ .... if they lose any more sleds today, the entire remaining field will end up in the top ten!
