Dog Sledding in Canada

I love to get away and have unique adventures. I crave anything out of the ordinary! I have decided to start sharing more of my journey through life with you. I hope it inspires you to get out and try something new!

This winter I spent a week in Ontario Canada at Agimac River Outfitters http://www.agimacriveroutfitters.ca/ I always have a blast kayaking, fishing, hiking, picking blueberries and dog sledding in the winter http://www.runsilent.com/index.html I have a few shots from one of my dog sledding adventures to share with you. Every time I go I'm in awe of the silent power they have and their love to run. I hope you get to experience it at least once in your life!!! I know you will end up wanting indulge in the rare joy it brings again and again - it's rather addicting!

Finest Companions
Curtis Surovy

Adventuring up blue ice mountains
panting dogs conquer the frozen slope
where frigid air like thorns in the lungs doubles you.
With whistle signal sled travelers halt,
dismount and approach the humble beasts,
bare fingers course through frozen fur's sharp edges.
Their prideful stature spent, these finest companions
now compliant with loose tongues flapping, bellies grounded
blow out exhaustion with every breath
until standing again the hounds bark readiness
to descend, tails wagging.
