One of the high points of the weekend at the cabin (besides the great dinner at Matt and Denise's) was a trip to watch dog sled racing. The Sierra Nevada Dog Drivers put on their annual Chester Winter fest at Lake Almanor. Dog sled racing is not, in my opinion, a great spectator sport but we still had a great time watching the starts and finishes of several races. The races were typically a four mile race and after the start there was a lot of standing around waiting for the 20 second finish. The lag time between races seemed a little long, but the dogs seemed to really enjoy it and their owners were very willing to show off their beautiful dogs. The AKC registered dogs were down right gorgeous but it appeared to me that the cross mixed dogs performed a little better. The show dogs seemed to be in a different class than the skinny, rock hard muscled cross breeds. But what do I know about dogs? Enjoy
