Yukon Quest 2006
Ok race fans, for all you folks who just can’t get enough of the Yukon Quest, here are pix from last year’s race. The race started in Fairbanks last year; I really missed it since it started in Whitehorse this year. Many of the mushers actually stopped for pictures, or slowed down! Not Mackey or Gatt though, they trucked right through. We couldn’t even get down the river bank fast enough to get closer to Gatt, he was already gone!
The teams are on the Chena River going thru Fort Wainwright, just coming into North Pole.
Ruff Ruffman
Ruffman is a gorgeous dog. He is a 9 year old retired sled dog who was dropped off at the shelter. He was there for about 2.5 weeks, and no one showed interest in him. He’s a real sweetheart so I took him home! Ruffman’s real name was Big Guy, and when he was a puppy his name was Trout. He raced when he was younger and even ran half of the Yukon Quest. He’s still wearing a battered Yukon Quest tag on his collar. He’s a shy guy but very nice!
