The Iditarod's Red Latern award has been received by Ellen Halverson. Donald Smidt reached his goal of finishing the race with all 16 of his Siberian Huskies - crossing the finish line about 15 minutes before Ellen. Donald wasn't the only musher to bring in all 16 dogs, Kelly Williams accomplished that feat too.
Congrats to all the teams and I'm looking forward to following your progress next year!
Coming south on Rock Road, yesterday, just before reaching Derby, I was following a rather well-worn, red pickup truck (with mud tires) that had a bumper sticker posted on its back cab window: Iditarod. BTW: To correct my impression that our local newspaper had not covered the race, I saw a letter-to-the-editor thanking them for the coverage. Must have been on the sports pages, which I only touch with tongs and asbestos gloves (lol).
