Sunset in the White Mountains National Recreational Area just north of SP Kennel. The youngsters enjoyed the gorgeous evening scenery.
Last weekend Aliy went on a spring camping trip with Ryne and a few young mushers from the neighborhood. Aliy decided that since it was a learning trip that the SP Kennel dog team would be predominately youngsters. So, the team was: Lydia, Nomex, Tinder, Spark, Torch, Hotshot, Cayenne, Champ and Coal.
The teams mushed 20 miles through the mountains to a BLM cabin, camped out all night and mushed out the same trail the next morning. It was very hilly and absolutely gorgeous. There was even time for an Easter Egg Hunt before they mushed out!
(L – R) Cayenne wonders where her dog house is; Nomex and Hotshot relax ‘butt to butt’; Champ, Lydia and Spark patiently wait for supper.
Well that was glorious. Love
Woof, woof, woof!!!
These are such funny pix of the youngsters!
Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful landscape views!
Sincerely,
Margaret
Great looking team of yearlings Aliy, all pulling and happy smiles on their faces… Wonderful scenery as well, you are truly blessed.

Upon second viewing, these youngsters are awesome -in harness – and so innocent, on this, their first night away from home…
Priceless!!!
You are the best!!! Thanks again,
Margaret
P.S. Made my day, too – ditto to all the others' observations!!!
Thank you! We love seeing these pups doing what they were meant to do. It's nice to think that one of them just might be leading the team into Nome one day.
So much fun!
What are ya waitin for pups; do you need a demo on cooling your bellies in the snow?
I wish your snow could last till June.

I love the in-between adventures and being a part of the youngsters' enrichment. This is so enjoyable to see… thank YOU SPK crew and all. !!!!
What a great run with the youngsters over the Easter weekend…complete with an Easter Egg Hunt…how fun was that!! The pups certainly look happy…it's great watching them grow up!!
