Dogsledding pictures!
Mar. 9th, 2011 09:13 pmAs promised, here are some pictures from my dogsledding trip! (If you're new to my flist and want to know more about dogsledding, I wrote up an essay on it for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ds_workshop a couple of years ago.)
We went from Jokkmokk to Saltoluokta by way of Årrenjarka, and it took six days. There was one other participant, a middle-aged man from Germany who was a total fanboy for Sweden. *g* And of course there was the guide, who was the same as the other two times I've gone.
The longest day was 50 kilometers (31 miles), but the actual driving on that day was only 3-4 hours--the land was fairly flat and we were following some snowmobile tracks, so the trail was easy. But it's not like we had nothing to do the rest of the day--there were always lots of tasks. The lowest temperature during the days was -38 degrees Celsius (-36 degrees Fahrenheit), but we had good clothes and kept moving, so I was almost never cold.
