Daybreak

We could see the sun just coming up. This is about the most sun we would see all day.

Frozen!

We were so cold! The one thing about this picture that cracks me up is the icicle that goes from my eyelash to my hat.

Dog sledding!

It was so cool! They let us have our own sled and Bill was the driver! The dogs were pumped! When we took off the girl behind us was thrown off of her sled. Her dogs ran right by us. We gave her a ride until we caught up to her dogs. We crashed once. I got a great video of it HERE.

All in layers

Two hats, a scarf, three shirts, three pairs of pants, three pairs of socks and the outer winter wear on top of all of it. It was exhausting to put it all on.

It was VERY cold! You can see someone was warming up their gloves by the fire.

Great conversation

We met some really nice people and it was just beautiful out there. We sat on the edge of a BIG lake and it was snowing a bit. Really pretty!

Juice

Our guide, Johnny, made a great fire, as you can see, and he heated up this GREAT juice that we LOVED and gave us everywhere we went over the fire. We also had some really good ginger snap cookies.

Intense

When they brought out the food everyone was VERY focused! They told us the food was a combo of grog and beef. It was very soupy. The dogs loved it! After they ate, they were very much calmer.

Saying bye!

Waving bye as he drives our team to their houses. Then we get to interact with them and they get fed. That little boy next to the tree was the son of the caretakers. He was a little scamp. The only English word he seemed to know was "Hello." He was walking around with a stick from a tree saying, "Helloooo!" and poking the dogs and people with the stick. The dogs were annoyed but seemed used to it like, "This kid! What are you gonna do?"

Bill!

We were on the trail for about 2 hours. Bill steered the whole way. It was not easy either. He did a great job!

No one around

We thought it was weird that we didn't see anyone else outside, even after a half hour, not one other person. Still no aurora.

Hmmmm....

We didn't see anything but we were patient. Bill calibrated his camera and we kept looking.

Welcome bears

After this we went to get our cold weather gear that we wore on top of our many, many layers of clothes.
