Hauling straw bales for winter

It gets VERY cold in Red Lake in the winter, but the people and the animals need to stay warm. Straw bales are piled up around the buildings and kennels and thick straw bedding is also used for warmth in the kennels. Every fall the bales must be purchased, hauled and distributed around the rescue. This task has been accomplished and I received a report.

Denise:
Here are a couple photos for you. September 28th we hauled 252 bales of straw for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. The team consisted of Carolyn, Tom, Nancy, and, of course, Karen . We managed to move all 252 bales safely without losing a single bale in our slow 12 mile hike back to Karen's place. Karen is pretty much an expert at stacking straw and the rest of us city folk watched in awe as we were taught 'how to.' It was a fun day, lots of laughing and giggling, and our political debate talks helped re-energize us when we started to slow down. Now the dogs and puppies will stay warm during the winter season.
