One of the Boultbee ladies who snow shoes on Sundays has brought her dog, Nazko, on several of the group’s treks. Nazko, a Belgian Shepherd, runs circles – literally – around her fellow adventurers on the trail. She never stops moving unless of course, she is on guard duty over the smokies as they roast by the fire. Her owner, Sandra Neill, got the idea that she could see just how much further Nazco travelled than her with the aid of her two handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) units. Sandra strapped one of her GPS units on Nazko and took her for a wilderness hike in the hills above Kamloops this winter. Here are some of the entertaining statistics from that walk.
