Happy Birthday and Good Luck... we are so proud!

Bleeker gets a little love from 4 hot ladies.
Yesterday was spent at the vet checks making sure all the dogs were healthy and ready to run. All the dogs got the okay to go from the vets.. the only problem.. Bleeker is supposedly fat, but I imagine he'll loose a pound or two in the next 300 some miles. We then stumbled into the musher meeting a little late.. an hour to be exact. Somehow we go the time screwed up.. maybe we are getting old.. well Paige is anyway because today it is her birthday.. she will be celebrating out on the mighty Yukon River with the dogs today. Wish I could join her, but damn what a present! So after a slap on the wrist, we were released from the meeting.. shortest musher meeting in history for us at just under 5 minutes!..  Below is the roster and starting order for the Quest 300. Paige will go out 21st.

The 1000 mile race begins at 11 am this morning. The 300 mile race begins at 5. Paige will be leaving the starting shoot at 5:42 becasuse racers leave in 2 minute increments. There are no SPOT trackers for the Quest 300, but Paige has asked for permission to carry ours so that you can follow along and see her progress. http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0YTXLnDPoJ0q6eDjMu6ABA8LrkbzpB3QN

It won't be as exciting as it will jsut be her on this map, but if used in conjunction with the tracking on the Quest site for the 1000 mile racers, you can figure out where she is this crazy race.

It is bound to get exciting so stay tuned here and on the Yukon Quest 300 website as well as the Yukno Quest facebook page.. Links provided in last entry..
