We did not have any trouble getting up out of the parking lot – even though we only had one chain on, which I discovered once we were out and were going to take the chains off – Randy found it later in the parking lot. The dinner was very nice and we were invited to sit at the Cook’s table by Ray and it was fun to be at the “winner’s table” – Kevin winning the 10 dog and his son Wyatt winning the 6 dog!– lots of emotion even thought this is not Kevin’s first time to win. Also lots of emotion for Don Cousins who had never run this race before and did fabulously with 3rd place – it was within seconds between him and Lars, the Streeper’s handler but he pulled it off!!! Both he and Faye his wife, were ecstatic – not to mention a little wealthier! It has been fun getting to know Don and Faye a bit better this weekend. The main course was prime rib and you can’t beat that! It all got over about 9:30 and time to drop the dogs! This morning tried to sleep in and again, Kimmy was our 8 o’clock alarm – that dog barked for an hour trying to get us up! Up in time to feed dogs and us breakfast and then walked to church, which was right next to the place we had the banquet last nite! The church was beautiful old French and their Cathedral. It looked a lot like St. Mary’s in Muskegon only about ½ the size. We talked to the priest and he said previously he was assigned to the Yukon Territory and had helped with The Quest dog sled race – he had noticed Randy’s Iditarod patch on his jacket. Over nite we got about 4 inches of snow and it is supposed to be a “Chinook” which I am not really sure what the definition of that is……… a lady at church thought it might snow today and tomorrow. At any rate, the next race is only about 3 hours away in Prince Albert so we were planning to stay here and train on trails that Randy is at least slightly familiar with. Next big decision………..where to park the truck and trailer for tonight!
