The Flower Kennel and Homestead - Talkeetna, AK
Sled dog kennel and Homestead tours. Alaskan lifestyle experience; off-grid living with sled dogs.
Less scenic, more comfort. Those doggies are my superstars.

We had to get out of the cold and mostly that insane wind real quick to avoid frostbite. Hooked the dogs in front of the snowmachine and the mushing sled behind.

Some more winning. Kiglu won second place in the dog keg pull. That moose shoulder blade definitely helped.
