Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Hiya folks! Been raining like crazy out here in the southeast region of Texas... Lots of flooding. Depressing. Juneau doesn't like the rain lol. Anyways, I figured I would share some photos of my vacation in Alberta last spring. My bf and I went dog-sledding! 4 hours worth! Let me tell ya - it was a blast! I would do it again in a heartbeat. They have a really cool camping trip one too. It is like a 2-3 day sled journey. I think the trip that we did was about 10 miles. We had a 1 hr break in between. It is definitely a pretty penny, but totally worth it. I figured the best place to share pictures was with you guys. Smile This was before I owned Juneau.

Pretty view. OH, the dogs had GAS!! Ahh! Nothing like going through the pretty forest, sniffing husky farts!
We also had to stop the sled if they were kneeling to poop (obviously) lol. They kinda started pooping while running.

You totally should! We got to switch back and forth. The guide and I would ride at the same time, while my bf would sit in the sled. Then they would drive while I sat inside. Towards the end, my bf and I got to steer by ourselves for about 20 mins lol.
