Dog Sled Races

Every year the dog sled races run through the back end of our property. We can see them from the house with binoculars but not too well. (we own 100 acres)

Saturday Brian hopped on the snowmobile and drove back to where the sleds came through. It is pretty cool to watch them.



As you can see, it was snowing pretty heavy at this time.

He shot this angle from up in his tree stand for hunting.

I am going to call this week "Through Brian's Eyes." He has been taking pictures for me lately and I am going to share them with you all this week. Be ready for a "different" perspective of life in Wisconsin. I pretty much hibernate for 5 months and he is a total outdoors kind of guy.

  2. That IS neat-I would love to see it and so would our kids-
    I agree-winter makes me hibernate, and the rest of the fam-hubby and boys-are outside playing football, soccer, snowball fights-Not me!
    (I do go out in it, but complain the whole time....)
    Stay warm!!!

  14. Thanks for the cool pictures. I especially love that last picture. Dog Sleds are fun to watch. We had the Apostle Islands Dog Sled Race up here a few weeks ago. We have a family from church who has a dog sled team. They had our youth group out for a day of dogsledding and the kids loved it. I'm trying to learn to like winter more. Getting better boots will help, I'm sure.
