Home again

  We left Toad River at 7 am. It had snowed that night about 3 inches. Great, now the snow to deal with. We got up early. Had a great breakfast and hit the road. It was slow going. No plow trucks out yet. Lots of snow on the road. We slowly wound our way through the mountains until we made it to the liard hot springs. I stopped there to rest while Ben, Rachel and Florian went into the hotsprings for a swim. I was hoping that some plow trucks make it out while we are stopped at the hotsprings. 
  After the swim we made our way up the highway and stopped to feed dogs. It was nine p.m. before we made it home. Leanne, Florian. Ben and Rachel unloaded the truck and put the dogs into the dog yard. 
  Today was a total rest day for me. I never left the house and rested as much as I could inside on the couch. I needed the day of rest for sure. We have dog trail to break in the morning and it has to be groomed for training tomorrow. I see that A truck has been out on the trail so it will need to be repaired. What a mess to come home to. Lots of snow here now. 
   Ben and Rachel need to take the dogs out this week for some six mile runs. We brought new dogs home from Ft. Nelson that need to be trained. The next race maybe some local races around the area then off to the world championships in Anchorage Alaska.
  The dogs all look good, we just need some races to go to now. There has been some cancellations down south so we will go North from now on. The cold weather has had an impact on some of the races. Some are a go but no prize money on the races. We are going to go to as many races as possible that is all we can do.  All are happy to be home
