Since I was a Security Guard at 4th and H, it was hard for me to get too many photos as SO many people wanted to come in the chute this year (no, no, there are dog teams moving out there ). But I did get a few nice photos. Our section hosted a lot of great teams:
Aliy Zirkle, Ray Redington, Jr.; Hans Gatt; Jason Barron; Bennie Stamm; Mitch Seavey;
Martin Buser; Dee Dee Jonrowe; Eric Rogers and many more. It was a very busy day for spectators as well. I think I won't work tomorrow and may get some nice photos on the lake at Willow.
Mike was media and he did get some great photos, including the Butcher/Monson family in their honorary sled. We'll get them a bit later.
P.S. People have the darnedest excuses why they MUST cross the street NOW , in front of
the moving teams, trying to each hold back 16 dogs. The sleds were skidding, I think Jeff King flipped and I saw several others. Also heard the TV cameraman got yanked right out of his sled ride as he was still hooked to a cable as his 16 took off... I wasn't there but heard it was a bit of a surprise to all.
Photos: Ray Redington, Jr.; Kaz Zirkle booting up :) Note: The Lobbens boots(gray or red) are very popular with mushers, then covered with Neo overboots; Ray and retired leader, Rubia supervising the team; (her scarf says, "Bark if you're Irish"); Joanne Potts, Race Director.
