Mush, you huskies, for Katie!

Katie Byard dogsledding in New Hampshire;
she must have worn out the white dog

BJ reporter Katie Byard went dogsledding in the White Mountains of New Hamphire?

Katie's response: "Oh, yes, we did!"

My late wife Monnie and I enjoyed the White Mountains and Franconia Notch in 1996. We didn't climb aboard a dogsled, but in 2010 Paula and I did visit an Iditarod champ's camp in Alaska and watch sleddogs perform at Denali National Park.

Monnie and I took a $40 van ride up Mount Washington, at 6,288 feet the highest peak in the Northeast. It was 76 degrees when we began the climb and 1 degree with wind chill at the top! 

We stood where "Walden" author Henry David Thoreau once stood at The Cup, near The Flume.

We stayed two nights at the Stonybrook Motel and Lodge in Franconia, NH before we headed for whale-watching off Bar Harbor, Maine.
