And the Winner Is...



Lance Mackey, 37, from Fairbanks, AK, is the 1st place champion of the 2008 Iditarod! He completed the race in 9 days, 11 hours, 46 minutes and 48 seconds! Read the full story here. Have you had as much adventure over the past 9 days? Jeff King finished in 2nd place, and as of this time the 3rd place winner hasn't arrived yet.

It has been fun for our family to follow the race via the Internet this year. We didn't have any personal favorites, but we are pleased to see that our own rookie Cache Valley entrant, Sue Morgan, is still in the race (currently in position #77). Go Sue! We'll have to arrange a field trip to visit her sometime and hear about the experience firsthand.
