This was an experiment that didn’t work. Kayla just wasn’t into being a sled dog and I don’t have the patience to try to convince her that it’s fun (she’s also getting arthritic so not a good idea anyway). Monty and I will go back to skijoring this winter....

With the Internet and the proliferation of guide book publishing in the modern world, it’s tougher than it used to be to deceive visitors.
