The Can Am Crown Sled Dog Races

Stealing a line from NASCAR: Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let's go racing boys

On Saturday, Eric and I spent an enjoyable day watching and helping to handle (musher jargon for assist) for our friends and fellow mushers at the Can Am Crown Sled Dog Races including the 30 mile, 60 mile, and 250 mile races in Fort Kent, Maine.

This was one of the most enjoyable events we've ever attended. Meeting lots of new mushers and seeing many that we already knew was the highlight of the trip. We hope to return to Fort Kent for next year's race.

We wrapped Saturday with a wonderful lasagna dinner at with both Canadian and US mushers at Baisley Lodges in St. Jacques, New Brunswick. Thank you, Gino and Fran!

Below are some great photos that Eric got while at the sled dog races.
