Were you helping with the race? At least it's not as cold as over a week ago

I work at Mile 101 checkpoint. Here are some pictures from it. Keep in mind that when the race starts on the Fairbanks side, the mushers are still pretty close together so we are slammed for 2 and a half days then it's over. I only had a couple of seconds to grab my camera now and then.

This is a very nice story about Yuka Honda and the Yukon Quest. She is quite liked by a lot of people, and for good reasons as told in the article:
