Two young mushers hit the trails on Saturday. David, 11 and his brother, Adam, 9, took their first runs on sleds. Their runs were smooth and fast, they were adept and sleds were well controlled. Good job, David and Adam! Of course, the dogs were excited to have new drivers, as always. Their mother, Jen, did a great job at learning to harness, hookup, feed, etc. As is customary, the boys helped with the chores following the runs.
