We did it!

 Early on in the winter we had set out to get Dash up to Granite Hot Springs as a goal by the end of the winter.  WHen we first tried in early December, the days were short, it was always below zero, and he was a couple months younger.  Sunday our bud Virg had her bday party up there and in good ol Wyoming fashion, all her buds, their old and new sleds, dogs, elk and bison meat, and cold beers all made the trip up to the hot springs.  Ohh yea, and Dash included!!  It was an unusually warm day and was in the 30's which this time of year feels like the 60's.  

 We loaded up the lil guy and set off.  Chels may or may not have pulled multiple back muscles sitting in one position with Dash for the 10 mile journey both ways, but I'll be damned, the crew made the 20 mile roundtrip trek aok.  I kept the sled at a very even rpm and the hum of the engine got him asleep both directions!  

It had been a few years since we soaked in the pool hot springs instead of the natural one further down river.  We had almost forgotten what a magical place it is!  
 
 To get here one must sled, skate ski, fat bike, and or dog sled!  

Starting to get the goodies all warmed up.
