It wouldn't have allowed enough light in had you insisted, and your photos would have been dark. You made such a fun series of photos out of the experience though.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-23805619509783264372011-03-29T18:34:05.250-04:002011-03-29T18:34:05.250-04:00I had to read this adventure from the beginning.

I think many of those dogs are actually an American breed of husky, just not the Siberians we associate with the husky term.<br />I've been to sled dog demos but never an actual race. Sitting here in relative warmth is more my choice.
