Yes there is a very big smile on my face as I write to you all. I haven't yet talked to War but got the message here on the phone just moments ago that he has won the 2012 Race to the Sky !! He sounded good. Finished the race with all 12 dogs he started with and they are all good as well. More details to come after I am able to talk to him. I was getting so anxious waiting for the phone call with the status report that I went out and ran a team here - nowhere near as thrilling as finishing a big race with a big string of dogs but it was a great ride on a beautiful sunny day that has helped my spirit. Love to you all. Kate Was just able to talk to him before he headed into Hi Country to get some food - yes he is feeling much better whatever bug he had is gone and he is hungry now. The trail took him 9hours and 45minutes. He said that he was breaking through 8-10inches of snow there for quite a while leaving out of Seeley. There wasn't too much snow on Huckleberry which was a relief. All the dogs drank well at the finish. Laura is not in yet but we have word that she has passed Whitetail so anytime now they should see her arrive. I am so proud of Warren and our dogs and his excellent handler Sam!!
