Warm weather has forced the cancellation of an attempt to mush a sled-dog team up the Mt. Washington Auto Road.
As Brady Carlson reportedearlier this month the Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennelin Jefferson hoped to make an attempt last Thursday.
Then, a contrary combination of winds and warm weather resulted in a postponement until this Wednesday.
But things only got worse.
“The warming temperatures have revealed the pavement on the Mt. Washington Auto Road’s lower half, so a sled dog ascent will not be possible,” wrote Steven Caming, a spokesman for the auto road, in an e-mail Monday.
A spokeswoman for the kennel said an attempt would be made next winter.
It has been decades since a dog-sled tried to make it to the top.
