Lets get this party started!

Greetings new and old friends and readers.  Merlyn here with what I hope is the start of a great new season of training, racing and currently learning to "Blog".  While Anne has taken the responsibilities of  running our Facebook page. ( Lake Effect Racing)  I am trying my hand at keeping up our blog page.  So get ready to laugh, cry and generally say "No way"  to all of our adventures this new season!

With Sept  behind us and the first 17 hookups on the team we are in full swing with training.  We have quite a crazy race schedule coming up this winter and as every distance musher knows its the early fall hookups that build the teams foundations.  So while Anne and I's bodies are saying no no no, the dogs are saying yes yes yes!  Yeah Ibuprofane!  October is crunch month for us here at Lake Effect Farms, all the winter fire wood needs to be done (nearly finished),  Hay put up in the barn (done)! Our annual cider pressing party "TBA" and 22 hookups MUST be done with the team. 


The latest and greatest for us here at Lake Effect is the new Fish Boiler that we built for rendering heads and backs into delicious and nutritious buckets of yummies for our dogs.  One businesses trash is another sledding Kennels treasure!  Thank you Lake Superior commercial fishermen!

A Fun New Addition to our site this year will be "McKenna's Corner"  Where our brilliant 5 year old daughter, McKenna gets to share her musings weekly about what we do on the farm and what she thinks about it.  Watch for great video clips and photos in this new area!
