palmor Senior Member  More info | Great dog sled photos! Also nice to see some photos of someplace I've actually been. We took a month long trip to Alaska a few years ago and who can resist a trip to the North Pole when you swing through the Fairbanks area John

Of course, not many people would want that for their living room wall (maybe a sled dog trainer, drivers, dog lovers), but hey... its still a fantastic shot! Matt l My Galleries

OldNick Senior Member  More info | Lovely shots! Hah! yeah the frozen slobber. They must be tough! dogs. I think I like the one with the driver, and the OOF part can work, because the dogs are everything here. As you say the driver needs help just to stop them, so he is just a "passenger", or hanger on.

They can't contain themselves, so several people have to hold-on to them to prevent them from 'jump starting" the race. They run at full speed for around 4 miles, and when they cross the finish line they don't want to stop. The musher has to have several helpers to grab and slow the dogs past the finish line.
The shot relegates him to that category.
) and it's all about the dogs. They love them.
