The finish line

If you read my Feb. 10 blog on The Yukon Quest sled dog race then you'll know that we had a friend in the competition. Michelle Phillips, who we met during our summer gig, finished sixth in the competition. She finished the 1,000 mile race from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada to Fairbanks, Alaska on Tuesday at 1pm. The temperature at the finish was -25.

The sixth place finish was a family best as the previous highest finish for both Michelle and her husband, Ed, was eighth. Check out www.yukonquest.org; the official race site; click on race photos and go to the Pelly Crossing series. About 16 pics in is a photo of a frosted Michelle with pic 16 one of her and her dog team. check it out.
