There's No Such Thing As It Being Too Cold Outside

As my friend, Bob Rice, pointed out, "There is no such thing as it being too cold outside. There's only the matter of not having the right clothes."

I drug my friend Shelly to norther Wisconsin to go dog sledding. The day started bright, sunny and -8 degrees.

We drove half way between Cornucopia and Bayfield, WI along Lake Superior. One missed road closed sign would have been disastrous. We would have driven right into the frozen lake.

We arrived at Wolfsong and got geared up in proper musher wear. We greeted the dogs, fed the dogs and then wrestled them into harnesses. The puppies were last, as they quickly chew through the harnesses.

We had a quick lesson on how to ride a dog sled and hooked up the dogs. By the time we took off, I had a slight river of sweat running down my back and pooling in my long underwear. 

Two-thirds of the way through our forest trail, we tied up the sleds and the dogs and had lunch. It took about 35 minutes to get the dogs untangled and reattached to the sleds. Afterwards, we headed back to Wolfsong, unharnessed the dogs in reverse order, fed them, unlayered ourselves and went to Bayfield for Bloody Marys.

These are the only pictures of our trip, as at -8, the phone battery dies instantly.
