Yukon Quest

Mama made a break for it and went to Fairbanks all herself and had a blast!  Some friends had rented a cabin along Chena Hot Springs road and hiked out along the Quest trail to watch the mushers go by.
We had the perfect weather for sitting around outside waiting for mushers to go by.  They were about 50 miles into the 1,000 mile race at this point.

This was the only team that I was quick enough to get a picture of.
 

Max was prepared and came with the racers profile and kept track of who was going by.

Back at the cabin for some dinner and a few beers.

Adrian modeling her high class hand wear.



Not sure who brought these, I think they took most of them back home with them. But I am willingly to bet that we will see this same jug at some other event in the future.
Wanna try??? 


A few of us headed back out on the trail (loaded up in Jeremy's snowmachine sled) after dinner to catch our friend, Paige, who was one of the Quest 300 runners.  We got to see her go by and I just heard she placed 5th in the race, awesome!!  Hans Gatt was the first place winner of the Quest. Few more weeks until the Iditarod starts.
