Winter in Bend . . . Part IV

Maralee_Park_060227_03727

Several years ago, my husband surprised me on our anniversary with a ride with a team of racing sled dogs.  It was one of the most exhilarating things I’ve done.  It was snowing heavily and the trees were thick with snow.

We were fortunate to have Rachael Scdoris as our musher and guide for our ride.  She is legally blind and was on her very last training ride before going to Alaska to race in the Iditerod.  She didn’t complete the Iditerod that year, but has raced and completed it several times since.  She is an amazing woman.
