A little news about the Yukon Quest, which started in Fairbanks Saturday morning. I watched the mushers and dog teams as they sped through the Chena Recreation Area in North Pole shortly after 2:00 PM. I like to watch the race there, because the trail runs along the road by the flood project, so one can be close enough to take photos without disturbing the dogs. I was there for a little over an hour, and left when my camera's lens stopped focusing because of the cold, although it was around -30 degrees or so. Two years ago it was around +40, just a little too warm for the dogs.
I believe Mackey and his dog team are shown in this photo (wasn't he #11?)
Not the best of photos, but it shows the number on the sled.
