Yentna Checkpoint Report

Tess had a great time at the Yentna Checkpoint. She met lots of new folks. There were many volunteers and guests at the Roadhouse including the family that lives there, 7 vets, a family from Alabama, etc... And then of course there was the continuous flow of sled dog teams starting Sunday evening.



She said the vets were there to check each dog on each team as they passed through the checkpoint. Dogs that had issues were dropped and then flown back to Anchorage to a safe holding area until their owners could retrieve them after the race.









Tess got to do some snowmachining. She said next year she's definitely going again. But she'll need to have warmer gloves and a headlight.



Lance Mackey and his team arrived first at the checkpoint.
