Dog Race Time

This weekend we went to Old Cantwell for Spring Rhondy and played lots of games.
But the most fun was on Sunday; it was a dogsled race! I got 5th place! My brother got 2nd. For our prizes we were given shirts that say "Cantwell Spring Rhondy".



My dogs' names were Muckluck and Timmy. They went really fast! If I ever have dogs when I grow up their names will be Timmy and Muckluck. (Mucklucks are a type of soft boot traditionally made out of reindeer or sealskin.)

I stood on two skiis attached to the dogsled. We followed a snowmachine to keep the dogs going. I finished the race in one minute and 40 seconds. It was really fun! For most of the time while I was there, I rode in the back of a sled attached to the snowmachine.

  1. Your report about the Rhondy is so interesting, Samantha. It sure looks like a lot of fun. The race where you were carrying each other must have been funny too. Did anyone fall? I love those things. Congratulations to you and Connor both on your places in the dogsled race! I love you, GramE(heart)

  2. What a perfect prize for placing in the dogsled race! I want to see a picture of your shirt. You wrote a great report on Spring Rhondy. I can tell you are an Alaska girl; you thrive in all that snow. :)

    Love, Grandma
