During the Spring 2010, our Natural Extremes Mushing Adventure Trips took to the trails around Nome, Alaska. The SP Kennel dogs, Mushers and Natural Extremes Guests journeyed by dog team to Pilgrim Hot Springs (65 miles North of Nome.) The sights, sounds and excitement during those few weeks were awesome.
Here are a few still photos to show just a glimpse of the adventures we had. Over the next month, we will publish some videos from the journey.
The dogs slept on the edge of some willow bushes at night. During the day we mushed 20 to 40 miles.
The challenge was mushing in and out of Nome "city limits". The City Ordinances (from the year 1902) state that all dog teams must wear "bells" when they come through town. We aren't sure if this team was legal.... Ranger and Skittles in lead, Pud and Hank in swing, Tony and Meg take up the rear position and Tom on the sled.
