2008 Yukon Quest

[boo]

Does anybody know why a bunch of mushers were penalized....and was it 2 hours? Including Ken? Is it imbedded in the run times? Am I the only clueless one? Maybe.....someone please set me straight. I am confuzzed

Penalized for not signing out from one of the first CPs.
Had no practical impact.

I was out with my telescope at 4 in the morning, but it was cloudy so I went back to bed.

Great race by Michelle. She surprised me by doing so good.

I saw eclipse about 9;30, sure was pretty.

Saw it here too FDF! I've been a little under the weather so kind of out of it lately, didn't even know about it until my 1st grader came home from school and "informed" me about it! Is always cool to see these natural phenoms and knowing that a lot of you were checking it out too! I love how the internet makes the world a lot smaller!

Wonder if the mushers still on YQ-trail could enjoy it?

[ThisSpaceForRent]

still six out on the trail....lets bring them in, safely and with the revel that they deserve...

Still popping up small stories in the YQ newsroom:

Like the way they write about every one of the Quest 2008 winners, which are all who reach the finish line

Good film clips, too. Sounds like wet feet--maybe even wet to the knees--is the order of the day out of Braeburn. New Hampshire's Mike Ellis and his purebred team have accomplished something to be proud of. I read he may have set a record for a purebred team.
