wolf track classic? I'd love to visit Ely again!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Linda. I'm afraid that one is a bit too pro for my speed. But I've registered for Voyaguers Classic Sled Dog Race, which doesn't appear to be to far from Ely. Would be SO awesome to have you come!
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry about our lack of snowcover (melting & rain) this year! KARE11 weather even went crazy with a snow dance last week. Hopeful for Feb/March hitting the trails with your sled!
