I can’t say my eyes are exactly wide open, but the video I shot of the SP Kennel Teams finishing the CB300 looks better to me now than it did when I was looking at it through my eyelids. I thought a few videos of the teams finishing might be … Read More
By the time I’d gotten back to the Kennel and checked to see that all the dogs were doing fine, then defrosted my camper, stowed my gear, had something to eat, posted the update about winning the Humanitarian Award and gone to bed, it was about one o’clock in the … Read More

Bridgett has just finished #24 with a happy, healthy, even frisky dog team. She is in great shape, almost bubbling over with enthusiasm. Dogs have all eaten a big, hot meal with gusto and are now tucked into their boxes. We are all heading back to get some sleep after … Read More

Along the road for the final stretch from Glennallen to Tolsona, this is how close it got between Allen Moore and Jeff King.
Aliy has finished the CB300 in excellent form, crossing the line in eleventh place. Allen was on hand to greet her, and we look forward to greeting Bridgett sometime around midnight tonight!
Allen had a tangle leaving Glennallen, costing him several minutes. Jeff King held tough to the end, winning by seven minutes. Congrats to both!
