Tuesday February 6 – Wilderness Camp


Slept fairly well in the cabin and only had to make one trip to the bathroom during the night! The bathroom was a fancy outhouse with a heater in the main room and individual stalls. Took a few photos around camp and then went for breakfast in the main building, which had a very warm fire going. Had to take off a number of layers to eat breakfast!

We then packed up and prepared for some dogsledding. We had to harness up our dogs and attach them to the sled. We got our 6 harnessed pretty easily but as we were listening to the demo on attaching them to the sled one of our young dogs ate his harness! Fortunately, they had spare harnesses so we changed the harness and got them secured to the sled.

We took off for a 25 km or so tour around the area over frozen rivers and lakes and through the forests. There were two to a sled so we switched between driving and sitting halfway. The sitting was fun but a bit uncomfortable. Managed to take some photos while sitting though. The driving was surprisingly easy and was actually quite relaxing.

After we got back we had some chili for lunch and then went for a sauna before dinner.

For dinner we had a salad with feta and then pork with croquettes and vegetables. For dessert there was an orange parfait with fruit and blueberry sauce. Was exhausted after dinner but managed to get a few blogs updated before falling asleep.
