We did mostly camping trips with the dogs before Iditarod. The temperature are not to cold so it was nice.

We mostly ran on the Tanana River toward Nenana and then otward Old Minto. The trails are flat. Our dogs don't need to see any hills for a while they just went over enough  of them in France, Oregon and Wyoming.

The post important is to make them understand to go slower. We are not in a stage race anymore and 12 miles per hours is good. Not 14mph!

When we camp we bring straw, food and water.
