Aliy and Allen have just started the Solstice 50/100 Mile Sled Dog Race here in Two Rivers!

As soon as both teams had left the starting point, I packed up the dog truck as fast as I could and hurried back here to the Kennel. In a little race of my own, I have taken the footage I shot this morning and edited it into this video post. (Special thanks to Wilson — my fabulous MacBook Pro — for an astonishingly fast job of processing video!)

I have only a few minutes before I must climb into Big Red and hustle up the road to the checkpoint where Aliy and Allen will soon be arriving. So, I don’t have time to write about what you’re going to see and will have to hope that the video is self-explanatory.

I tried to do a pretty complete narrative while I was shooting, so I hope it works out for you. Please let me know in the comments!

  • Hi Macgella

    You do such a wonderful job of bringing the experience of the kennel life and the race to us. I love it and get lots of laughs.

  • Great coverage… felt as though I was there… at least in spirit. I was warm with a wonderful glass of wine in my hand! Looking forward to the next installment which should be about placement. Hope for the best!

  • That was a good explanation. Keep up the good work! It was interesting to hear the dogs’ point of view.

  • Really enjoy the coverage, Macgellan. You do such a great job! Since I can’t be there in person, this is definitely the next best thing! Look forward every day to new posts!

  • Thanks Mac for the excellent race coverage and commentary. Enjoyed the spot interviews with Manny and the other fur kids! Allen and his team of youngsters did a fantastic job on showing that the SP Kennel team has the right stuff!
