[mithious]

Flower that is just soooooo funny, I was laughing so hard, you know, one of those belly laughs....thanks....that's great ROFHowling

,morning all

caught on camera...jeff king being silly...watch the insider clip of j bruce talking about kings dog...now dont watch bruce...watch the guy in the back ground sledging down the hill at the checkpoint on his bale of straw....he then goes over (you can hear everyone laughing) and starts toput beds down for the dogs....theres a film crew watching it and filming...big question is...is this king jeff?! looks like some of martins antics rubbed off! so good to see everyone having so much fun on the trail this year...last year jeff was feet up sleeping as he approcahed the top of the steps with a camera crew there and at the last moment jumped up and dropped off the edge of the world! perhaps jeffs serious face is slipping in his old age?

Thanks T that was funny and there was a camera guy following Jeff, so maybe we'll see that clip on the series on Discovery next fall. AND I saw the first video taken from the air, of Lance on the Yukon. I've been looking for the air shots but this is first I've seen. Have they been there and I just missed them? Does Discovery channel show inBritan? Looked like Jeff's dogs were trying to 'help' by taking their booties off

The Discovery helocopter crashed and ITC can't put the Insider reporters on the AirForce planes, they had to get a voucher to even fly this year, next year they will probably have to go with Penair or Alaska Air, the AF is grounded next year unless the ITC can pull a rabbit out of their hats.....that's going to be big $$$$$!!!

The AF had to get waivers just to fly this year.....they aren't supposed to fly ANY commercial flights and flying the reporters is just that...plus I guess from what I read there were other inconsistancies with the "volunteer" part vs commercial flights.....will have to wait and see how this all pans out....??????

That's why you aren't seeing any or just a few ariel shots this year.....

Thanks Mith, wondered why. Also I asked and actually got an answer from II about if they would be doing video from the banquet. Reply was something like, we wil have someone there taking photos (videos?) and they will be posted LATER. Well rats. I wish the first year of II they had never done the live video at all of the banquet. It spoiled me. But maybe we'll have someone of our own reporting

[mithious]

That would be great if we could but I'm not counting my chickens.....I don't think the finishers banquet will be open to the public via video again.....could be wrong though? I think I will have to say good nite to all....I'm getting sleepy....don't want to over do it....

Nite everyone Atleast a few hours anyway I had to buy a new alarm clock my old one went on me...so I will be able, I hope to get up without missing too much....they must rest soon too.....maybe 4-6 hours depending on how much trail rest they get!!!!

See ya all soon...nite to all my friends who are just getting up and off to work and to all you nite owls...see ya in a while....love ya all

Just caught up with this thread

The curry story Tears rolling down my cheeks. Speechless

Going to check Jeff King now

this doesn't come under the heading of funny, but rather interesting- a team of borzoi.


i have a number of pics of borzoi in harness, but am still looking for pics of the legendary greyhound sled team. i heard of them some years ago, but have never found any photos of them, other than one of crossbreds that are supposed to be a team in their picket. the way i heard it, someone had put together a team for sprints of ex track dogs, and raced them both on snow and with rigs....blanketed up in the snow, of course.

anyone know about this story?
