Sled Dog Races - Mt. Shasta...

I had the opportunity this weekend to photograph the Siskiyou 135 Dog Sled Races on the northeast side of Mt. Shasta, near Weed, California. This was my first sled dog event and I had a great time. I was invited by one of the competitors to photograph this unique sport in spectacular scenery of the area.

Here are some shots from the event...

Almost there...5 miles to go!

My thanks to Arcticgrace Siberians of Sun Valley, Nevada for the invitation! Let's do it again next year...
