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.
Interaction
After they unhooked all the dogs we got to pet them and see the puppies!
Our team
Bill and our whole team!
Pretty eyes
One of the dogs on our team. So pretty!
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!
Two staircases
I don't think we've been on a plane that boarded and deplaned with two stairways.
