Not quite the Iditarod...but still fun!

Dogsledding. Not something you often get a chance to do in Texas or Oklahoma, or anywhere for that matter. However, today Marci and I got to go dogsledding through Hope Valley, a serene spot in the mountains about 30 minutes south of Lake Tahoe. Our dog sled guide was really friendly and told us all about the landscape around us and even taught us about dogsledding itself. It was very relaxing and much more peaceful than the high speed bouncing of the snowmobiles we rode yesterday. That is, while we were moving. Those dogs loved to run! When they weren't pulling the sled they were barking at us to get moving again. All in all, loads of fun.
