This past Saturday morning we headed to Stoco Lake Lodge in Tweed, Ontario to watch dog sled races. We didn’t get there early enough because I like to watch the Skijoring but it was already over with before we got there. We did watch some races and stayed until they broke for lunch. Then we left…… The races were supposed to be Sunday as well but they cancelled them due to poor quality of snow and dangers to the dogs.
A lone sled 
Starting Line 
Another contestant 
No huskies here 
There were a lot of women competing which was terrific to see 
Stoco Lake and the people are at the starting line 
I just thought this rock in the middle of the lake was pretty neat, we were standing on the frozen lake to take photos 
rounding the corner, hopefully not straight into me 
Off from the starting line 
I was trying to perfectly place the dog sled teams in front of this rock, this was try number 17 lol 
I do love that rock apparently 
You can see the two other teams in behind this guy 
This dog though…………….his ears 
Coming up to the finish line 
Just a shot of the Lodge and the mucky road
How about a few more? We aren’t bored yet are we?
Get out of our way !!! 
Get Out we say ! 
Get ready for the races 
This guy left his dogs at home………. 
blah
Coming up to the finish line 
And they are Done!
We went into Finn’s Pub in the Lodge and had a break which involved a beer. Really nice pub, we didn’t have any food so I can’t say what that is like.
We left the races and headed to Tweed for lunch.
Downtown Tweed 
Some murals on one of the buildings downtown 
Self explanatory ! 
Inside the bakery which was just down from the restaurant 
The restaurant we had lunch at, the name escapes me
We also stopped to photograph Chisholms Mill that morning, which in retrospect I guess I should have started with !
And so that was our day, finishing with a lovely evening at the Old Church Theatre to see Jerry Leger perform………..
See you soon……..
