White Mountains Spring Camp Out


Sunset in the White Mountains National Recreational Area just north of SP Kennel. The youngsters enjoyed the gorgeous evening scenery.

Last weekend Aliy went on a spring camping trip with Ryne and a few young mushers from the neighborhood. Aliy decided that since it was a learning trip that the SP Kennel dog team would be predominately youngsters. So, the team was: Lydia, Nomex, Tinder, Spark, Torch, Hotshot, Cayenne, Champ and Coal.



The teams mushed 20 miles through the mountains to a BLM cabin, camped out all night and mushed out the same trail the next morning. It was very hilly and absolutely gorgeous. There was even time for an Easter Egg Hunt before they mushed out!


(L - R) Cayenne wonders where her dog house is; Nomex and Hotshot relax 'butt to butt'; Champ, Lydia and Spark patiently wait for supper.
