It was our first outing with the new sleds. The weather was nice / -13c and sunny. All tree of us did some sledding with the dogs and had opportunity to practice passing. As a leader Pete prefers to pass to the left. Pete was a bomb. He loves it so much that on the 4th ride he started not wanting to come back to the start. The sleds were just amazing. Speed was nice. We can't wait to some day have more dogs to add to the bunch !

The 2008 Jeep Jamboree Schedule was published earlier this month. Melanie and I were looking forward to booking the Vermont and Maine Jeep Jamborees. Unfortunately, the Vermont Beer Festival and the Vermont Jeep Jamboree are both on the same week-end! So we had to choose one or the other... Last year's VIP experience at the Vermont Beer Festival was really excellent and we were hoping to do the same this year. JP also came up from South Carolina for the Beer Festival, which made it all the better. Hopefully we can convince JP to attend the Vermont Jeep Jamboree instead. :-) It's a long drive though, so we'll see. If anyone else would like to join us, the Vermont Jeep Jamboree is July 18-20 in Killington Vermont, and the Maine Jeep Jamboree is October 3-5 in Bethel Maine.
