yep ~ it's true....Lance Mackey was the first musher to make it to the finish line in Nome, Alaska after traveling over 1100 miles. Lance had already won the Yukon Quest earlier this year, which he also won last year.  He is a native Alaskan, a cancer survivor, and an inspiration. Here are a few pictures from the Alaska Daily News website. To view more pics click here ------> ADN.Com

If you scroll down you will find another post I did when the Iditarod was getting under way. On this post you will find other links taking you to the history of the Iditarod and the journal of the teacher from Dillsburg, PA, who traveled to Alaska to help with the Dog Drop at the Iditarod.

One more little tidbit, which I find surprising ~ you would think that Alaska, especially this time of year, would have plenty of snow and wouldn't have to make snow....well, not so, this year a snow maker had to travel in front of the mushers and make snow...unbelievable, don't you agree?

Now for Lance and his puppy dogs!
