Hello All!

On Saturday, February 10, the 24th Yukon Quest starts in Whitehors.  28
teams will be trying to win the largest purse ever, USD$35,000 for first,
and the lucky winner will cross the finish line in Fairbanks, Alaska, some
11 days later.

The distance of the Quest in 1000 miles (1600 kilometers).  You can track
progress on http://www.yukonquest.org.

Note that the Iditarod, the other big dog race starts three weeks later.

Take care,
