On the go!

  

As a child I was fascinated by the atmosphere and are still mysterious stated by Jack London in his book "White Fang". Since I saw the movie Eight Below, recommended by our friends so much heat Lucia and Mateo, and which we highly recommend toturor the adventure lovers in eternal snow lands, we wanted to have part of the extravaganza of exceptional moments winter that we had the joy and the chance to spend them during a trip through the Rocky Mountains.

Back to other activities in beautiful Colorado, here reports reporting exceptional moments that we had a tour with the sled dogs.

Winter extravaganza!

 

 

 

On a beautiful long after overnight snow in abundance, I decided to surprise his wife and make them go a little trip through the Rocky Mountains this time in a way quite original and thrilling on board a 10 sleds malamute Alaskan Huskies and 2, a total of 12 heroes. Each sled is a sled and musher who effectively controls the 12 crazy among others are quite difficult to control and that I think largely because they have only two speeds: in flight at high speed and total rest. :-)

Binds friends!

           

 

 

Armed with photo and video equipment get ready for adventure, one of the most important points from the list of our heroes prepare the course knowledge and socializing with people who largely depend on our situation when we are in the midst of snow.

A little play before departure!

   

Like any mountain activity that pose some risk and this activity has its rules:

- Only 2 people per sled passenger

- Plus a leader sled "musher" who is behind the sled and sleigh and team control "crazy", which honestly tell you are really hard to stop when I'm going crazy :-)

- Pregnant women or children under 4 years are not admitted on the sled

- Full load of the sled, the two passengers and their equipment should not exceed 400 pounds - 181kg

Stretches of snow does not scare us!

 

 

 

After all conditions necessary travel, we embarked on careful control of the sled and musher's our breasts have been effective in some beds impachetatii and ready to go.

All dogs were some beauties, healthy well fed and eager to take it with us to run after them. :-) What impressed us and we really liked was that all dogs pulled in front with all the force there was not any smarter to pull to the side.

In action!

 

In this photograph can be seen running pleasure and lust of these fantastic dogs who actually follow their leader without complaint.

Each sled has a leader or a leader who actually keep the dog in front of the whole expedition reins, is the one who is given orders to attack the musher, other dogs followed after him happy without all the little gestures and all response actions.

Family Cofaru rest!

Together with one of our heroes!

In moments of rest on the peaks, when we stopped at a hot chocolate, leader of the toboggan slide is opened, here we lost the opportunity to better our heroes impretienim and make some photos.

Here, in the rest, the musher told us about these phenomenal qualities and acracteristicile dogs and so we found that these dogs are very intelligent, very brave, tenacious, endurance and cold and with a highly developed sense of orientation field, stubbornly refuses to go on the ice in their nature because they risk that ice breaks under the weight of the breasts, putting themselves and can sfarsii drowned, and are devotees.

One thing that impressed us was the eyes of these beautiful examples of great and blue state that had not at all, always wanted to be in motion and the musher explained that this is nature and this year they created dogs to run that distance and not able. :-)

Snowy!

 

The whole trip took place in the private territory of the Mountain Mushers, which was a pleasure because the entire period of our adventure I have not seen any vehicle and no tipenie mountain man.

Because the area is not frequented by anyone other than our group sleighs, one of the golden rules is to stay on track throughout the adventure, the slightest deviation from the path traced by dogs and breasts you can sink in the snow large enough as can be seen in these pictures, where even if I was on top of mountain snow was quite high.

Victorious!

      
Here Cofaru glad she came out well, and my help of course the snow bank, do not miss the opportunity to show the home looks like a snow in Colorado. :-)

  

At the end of this little adventure we promised that we will return the first opportunity to enjoy nature and the atmosphere provided by these heroes of the mountains!

What do you think?

    @ Lucia & Mateo - And We would have gladly made a crazy day but did not enter the bag. Indeed if you're in another world all around you, as the eye can see is white and Open Season depend only dog ​​guys. All the time while I was in the movie I had in mind sled :-) and I knew that the dogs will do everything possible to take their mission to a successful end.

  9. Mircea UNITED STATES says:

    What a pity we did not have time to do a tour and new sleigh : ( ...

    Yes, husky are beautiful ... but I heard they are pretty silly comparing the German wolf or schnauzer dog genu ...

  10. Valy Cofaru UNITED STATES says:

    @ Mircea - Mircea next time go and sled dogs, yet you expect from a summer rafting and more on here.
    As for dogs, I can not say that I know, me-and they seemed very organized and obedient personality but perhaps not so strong as German shepherd or schnautzerul, who knows. Maybe someone can tell us :-)

  11. Vali Banoiu ROMANIA says:

    Awesome ... Husky are among my favorites .. and from what I see in the pictures, most likely to have become in the meantime and vostrii favorites. :)

  12. Valy Cofaru UNITED STATES says:

    @ Vali Banoiu - just one question: How could you not become some prefer these beautiful animals?
    You're right company of these gorgeous specimens gave us a great experience which gave us the opportunity again some are more dogs than dogs :-)

  15. Dragos ROMANIA says:

    Wow, just one word: amazing! Hm, I know a friend who is crazy about this thing with dog sleds .. Anyway, I think any lover of nature, of winter and the snow would be delighted by such experience. . I think maybe in the Jiu Valley in not too distant future as a tourist resort that is projected to be such an entertainment option can be taken and there .. we just dogs and sleighs, the roads and paths The mountains are a lot: Jieţ keys, cut, etc ... The photos are wonderful as usual ;)

  16. Dragos ROMANIA says:

    I just saw that mr. Banoiu is among your subscribers :) we were colleagues of job a while, then good friends, not Mr. Vali :)) .. great man, great character :) or to say ... great figure? :) a guy what to grade 10!

  17. Nadi ROMANIA says:

    Often left with words that now anyway. But I felt the need to tell Dragos not think that becoming a Jiu Valley resort near future, perhaps when we will not be new but it seems unlikely.
