Beech Lake Mushing Trails - Chugiak

Somehow, in the middle of a steady rainy spell, the skies cleared Wednesday,  blues skies appeared, and a group of very sun-starved and excited Divas drove up to Chugiak for what turned out to be a great treat of a ride.

 Christine, who is a badass dog musher, led us on the mushing trails she knows very well from running her dogs there. Thanks, Christine, for showing us some new trails!

This was a bonus:  Susan and Christine gaze out over the inlet where the trails led us to for some killer views on a perfect night.

The very pretty, but poisonous bright red/orange mushrooms are prolific this year - don't eat the shrooms, dude, stay away from the pretty shrooms....

What a night! Our ride led us the the shore of Beech Lake, a popular fishing and paddle-boarding location. Although tempting, we decided not to take a swim - maybe next time!

Dirt Divas sometimes know how NOT to get dirty, by going around the mud puddles!

This was all-around, a great time - great weather and new trails.

 Sun, and more sun!
