CB300: Winter Drive

Note: This is an excerpt from my contributions to the SP Kennel Dog Log

Here's a little video to enjoy with your Sunday morning coffee.

During my drive from the CB300 back to the Kennel, I shot some footage with my onboard camera. The first two minutes show you a few things from our Arctic world that I think you may find interesting. Then there are just a couple of minutes of "music video" that I hope you will find enjoyable. (Note: "Extra credit" to those of you who can identify the apt music!)

CB300: Tolsona Checkpoint

Note: This is an excerpt from my contributions to the SP Kennel Dog Log

Operating under the premise of "fast is better than fancy", I did very little editing to the last two videos and posted them without text. Luckily, the raw video was pretty tight and self-explanatory, so they didn't need much. This video needs a little set up.

I wanted to give you an accurate sense of what a quick checkpoint pass-through is like, so I have not edited any of the raw footage in this video as I would ordinarily do. This means you get a "real-time" rendition, but it also means you get some camera movement as I change positions and a bunch of side-talk that I would normally cut out -- including a little good-natured banter I have with Aliy!

CB300: Load Up & Drive

Note: This is an excerpt from my contributions to the SP Kennel Dog Log

Here's are the video highlights from our "load up & drive" today. You may already be familiar with the load up process, but I think you'll find the drive portion of the video both new and quite interesting.

CB300: Drive & Arrive

Note: This is an excerpt from my contributions to the SP Kennel Dog Log

The drive to Glennallen was problem free! We left the Kennel at about 7:30 this morning, so it was dark and stayed that way for the first couple of hours. By 11am we were in the mountains, driving south into the barely rising sun. The wind picked up quite a bit in the pass, so that is snow/ice you see blowing across the road!
