These pictures are from the K-300, Bogus Creek 150 and the Akiak Dash. The 300 is a long hard race, a lot of the mushers that run the Idatorad are in it along with several local teams. We had a great time at the race, Terrence was helping our friend MB run the starting line. That is them in the first picture. Trying to control eighteen teams of dogs at a time is quite a challenge. James and I weren't up for the task, so we stuck to spectating. James insisted on staying out for all three starts, which was about three hours on the river. It was cold, but not too bad, especially with a few warm up trips in a friends car. That evening there was an impressive fireworks show to celebrate the races. We have to get our fireworks for the year in now since they don't have them on the Fourth of July- it doesn't get dark enough!
