Yukon Quest

Today I went to a friend of friend's house where I watched the dog sled teams come through the Chena River.  They began their one thousand mile race back in Fairbanks as part of the Yukon Quest (This is more of a race to prove oneself rather than a famous one).  I drank a lot of hot chocolate and ate many cookies.  I also ate taco soup and played Fluxx.





Mostly USA and Canada, but one racer was from New Zealand and one from Sweden.





I saw moose for the first time.  A mother and a calf.

And a bunch of pictures of the racers.  I wish I had brought a note book with me to mark what pictures belonged to what racer.  The pictures were taken from varying distances from a hill away to meters away.





























This was the house I was at.  The people standing there all cheered for every racer.  I just took photos.
