More pictures to share!!
Today was the kick off of the Percy De Wolfe Memorial Mail Race. The start (and finish) is here in Dawson, this morning lots of us gathered to cheer on the racers and their dogs. The first dog sled racer gets to carry the bag of mail that Percy De Wolfe would have carried. They fill it with post card type mail that you can purchase in town and write on and send with the race. The race goes from Dawson City to Eagle Alaska, the letters will be stamped with Canadian postage and American postage before it gets mailed out to who it's addressed to. Pretty cool, although I have no idea how long it will take to get where it's going and if I'll beat it home lol.
The dogs are amazing, they're so amped and ready to go. All the want to do is run run run. So sweet and super energetic. A lot of the time we saw each racer give each dog some love before they took off. Super cool to see. I'm so glad I caught this dog race since I missed when the Yukon Quest went through. I got a ton of photos and a video or 2. I will try and upload the video, it's incredible how fast they are right off the start, pure strength in these dogs! This last week has sure been making leaving this place a lot harder...
Heres some photos from today : )
