Why mushers are traveling over 1,000 miles to compete in Michigan’s legendary dog sled race this weekend The UP200 features 14 teams competing in the 228-mile Iditarod qualifier with nine-time champion Ryan Anderson and defending winner Martin Massicotte headlining.

Will miss being on the trail this year but looking forward to following!

This is such a perfect choice, Was just thinking about Mary Shields the other day. I remember reading her book ‘Sled Dog Trails’ when I was eleven or so! (I honestly would love to recommend the #UglyDogs read it book-club style if they can get their hands on a few copies).

Yeah, it’s a crapshoot either way. And honestly that’s true of a lot of sled dog races these days. Reliable conditions just aren’t reliable anymore.

Fortunately I only got knocked down for a couple of days. Hope your sinuses are feeling happier now!

Okay but WHERE are the Markiplier vs. Melania memes??? The internet is sleeping on a goldmine of potential for shitposting here and god knows I need some levity right now.

Not holding my breath for decent snowpack in March in the Minnetonka area with how the past few Winters have gone, but REALLY hoping there will be for the sake of everyone who works so hard to put on this race.

I did, though I managed to get home and immediately got sick. Feeling like a person again now though!

It was a brutal trail this year for a lot of mushers who had to make that call. Hopefully I’ll be back on the trail with you next year.

Looks like a really nice trail. Happy that you are out mushing!

Yes, the hills out of Finland are no joke (a couple of them in particular come to mind). Hoping to see you back next year!

Was great to see you out there!

First episode is about ready to upload. After that I’m guessing it’ll have a somewhat sporadic upload schedule.

Okay I think I have found it but boy has navigating and using the site become a challenge these days.

Upsy is doing great! She is in the series but will probably feature the most heavily in the final episode.

Just wrapping up “production” of the first episode.

Yay!! I’m so excited to finally be sharing it!

I’m hoping to have the first episode up very soon!

Of a sort! Episode 1 has sort of a brushing montage…Dog fur everywhere. Wizard trying to eat the brush.

As always, it’s my pleasure. I hope my pups can bring joy to you and others.

There will be more soon! Just working on wrapping up the last loose ends of episode one.

Aw drat!

Eclipse goes wherever he wants, LOL. That was his personality from day one!

I want to give y’all credit but I need to make sure I’m listing everyone!

Anyone know where on earth the actual list of Patreon supporters lives on the site or app these days? I can’t find it to save my life, it just wants to give me metrics and numbers.

Sharknado 2 anyone?

I hope I can help with that!

RECHARGE! RECHARGE!

I hope you enjoy the final product! It’s been a wild ride!
