Yukon Quest 2008

after a big breakfast this morning we walked the frozen slough to the Chena River to see the start of the Yukon Quest sled dog race. in traditional fairbanks style it was 42 below zero(when we started the walk) and everyone was sporting their warmest carharts and bunny boots. there were so many people out even with the cold temps, it was a blast! dan, brian, lisa, dea, ed, julie, chris ,tobin, erin...this is Phil Joy (Kumi's fiance) starting out. of course human and dog exhaled ice fog. check out dan and lisa's video of his start.
when we say Lance in Alaska we are talking about Lance Mackey. He won the Quest last year and the Ididarod, he was the first musher to do so.
another shot before walking to Taco King for a little jackson and his to do list stories and then back to the house.
