Yukon Quest

[Boreal Birch]

Not canoe tripping, but does involve some winter camping.
This is for those of us that have spent time on the Yukon River or are just arm chair dog mushers.
Follow the dog race that started Saturday Feb. 1 in Fairbanks Alaska and ends in Whitehorse.

Thanks for the reminder. I'l have to follow the track.

Here are a couple of screenshot photos ( poor quality because taken from a movie slideshow video) of an exhibit for the Quest in front of my hotel in Fairbanks in July 2009 after the 1000 mile canoe race..

Thanks for this thread Birchy. My wife and I have always wanted to go sledding for a couple days, hot tenting along the trail, but for now resign ourselves to just being armchair mushers. Not so bad from my POV, cup of coffee in hand and cozy slippers on my feet. Let's go!! Hut! Haw!
