Mush Mush in Juneau

It was raining dogs and dogs in Juneau. No cats...this is truly dog country.

We headed to the Juneau Ice Fields where a summer dog camp is set up. These dogs are bred to run and they need 10 miles a day to stay fit and healthy. Rob and I are flying in to help cover some of those miles.

The dogs are led by voice commands only. They are smart, strong and love a cuddle AFTER they have had a run. Beforehand, they are just chomping at the bit to get going and they are full of beans.

Such a terrific experience in a beautiful place.

Approaching the dog camp
King of his Igloo...he's upset as he wasn't picked for mushing
Unless you are the lead dog, the view is the same for the next 10 miles!!
On the run
Eva and Jason...our next door neighbours on the boat
It's no Iditarod but it is fun...
Me in the driver's seat (err stand)
Heading back to Juneau - such beauty
Choppers ahead!!
Juneau - only accessible by sea or air.
Thanks to the folk at Era Helicopters for making it all happen X
