Yukon Quest 2008

The Quest is under way once again! This year, the mushers are traveling east from Fairbanks to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Chrissy, Freya and I attended the start in downtown Fairbanks on the Chena River, despite the -40F temperatures. Our good friend, Brent is off to any amazing start.



Brent is currently in 3rd place behind 3-time winner Lance Mackey and rookie Ken Anderson. Earlier this afternoon, he left Dawson City - the race's halfway point - after a mandatory 36 hour rest.

You can follow Brent's adventures at his blog, and at the official Yukon Quest website.
