We had been riding around for a little bit and came to a stop to look at something or other. We got out and Chris says, "No wonder people were looking at us funny." Well, this was why. A nut holding down the wench on the front of the truck had broken and we were riding around with the wench halfway hanging down!
But, we rigged it until we could get back to our place of stay.
We ran into a couple of sled-dog teams, or mushers, on this day. Here's a picture of the dogs taking a run. What the locals will do is hook the dogs up to a 4-wheeler (b/c there's no snow on the ground yet), put the 4-wheeler in neutral and let the dogs do the pulling. This gets them ready for whatever they need to get ready for. Could be the Iditarod, or could just be this is their mode of transportation (see bottom right of 1st page "Vehicle Configuration") for the winter. Since the Iditarod official start point is in Wasilla, and that's where we were, I would say these people are getting ready for the race. We didn't get to talk to them, so I can't say with certainty. Either way, I thought it was so neat!
One of the roads we went down many, many times!
Chris' picture-taking skills. He saw the red berries and green moss and wanted to place them together. I just saw the red berries and took pictures of that. I would have never thought to actually move the berries to the moss.
And on this one, he moved the leave that was in the way of the red and green. I was amazed by his creativity! (It doesn't take much to make me happy!)
You would not believe how hard it is to get pictures of someone trying to throw leaves in the air! So...I'm signing off with these. Chris was behind the camera and I was having fun! :)
Thanks for tagging along and taking a look at our pictures! :)
