In other dog news...the 2007 Yukon Quest!

The Yukon Quest is underway as mushers travel for 1,000 miles from Whitehorse, YT to Fairbanks. I'm not helping out this year, but I'm following the race and you can too.

Brent Sass is competing in the race for the first time this year and friend, Ken Tape is documenting the trip from the air and from the ground. He is posting daily journal entries from the trail at Brent's website (www.wildandfreealaska.com/quest07) and also at Popular Mechanic's online blog.

Here a couple of pictures from the trail (courtesy of Ken).
