Our first cabin trip of the new year was Nugget Creek. This was built by a long time local when there used to be mining in this area. It has a lot of character.
This is the cabin with our sleds and Neve out front. We both mushed in with 4 dog teams. It went pretty well except it was a little warm for this time of year. It was a sweltering 30 degrees on the way in and out.
This stove may look little, but when people tell you that the stove can run you out of the cabin, they are not joking. Holy smokes, did it get freakin' hot!

So, this trail had three creek crossings. Above is a picture of the South Fork Chena River. Below is a short video of Jeremy bringing his team across. It is completely ice and impossible to steer. I put the camera away as he got closer just in case his lead dog decided not to take the right. He's like that sometimes. You can hear Jeremy giving the command for the team to go right, "gee."
