Thanks - yes it's not easy as usually the musher is in the way! You might be interested in the way they attach the dogs to the sled, which differs from how it's done in parts of Canada, not least because of the absence of trees. You can also place photos showing dog-sleds geographically by looking at the sled design, which differs from one part of the country to another. But I'm not going to claim to be a dog-sled expert!
Good to know petro-chemical power snow mobile is assisting the dog team, akin to a snow plough on a street, but how far does a snow mobile go on a tank full? and there doesn't appear to be any Little Thief stops in sight, again, so many questions, sorry, just piques my interest.
Thanks for posting, once again, I like these images, thanks.
Nigel.

Hi Nigel - that's a very holistic way of looking at it 
I believe the range is about 200 miles at about 20 mpg, depending on how you drive them of course - they have no gears so are probably not the most efficient bits of machinery. If they want to go further than that they take a spare tank of gas with them in a trailer on skies.
