Uploaded by: katy99780 — Sunday December 30, 2012 — Tok, AK (Current Weather Conditions)

Sled dog race, the Top of the World 350 ended this afternoon in Tok Alaska.

Mushers first drove north to Eagle Alaska in a commemorative run to honor Chief Isaac Juneby who passed this last summer.

Presenting honors to the Eagle Council and attending a traditional potlatch, the mushers then raced overnight to Tok.

Great action capture, Katy! The dogs sure enjoy what they do, don't they?!! We have the John Beargrease down here in Duluth every winter and it's always fun to go freeze your bum off watching them come through the checkpoints! :D

Thanks for stopping by Kathy!

I was pleased to see the dogs with tails up, tongues lolling!

It's pretty warm here as dog races go, quite unusual.

I hope this becomes an annual event.

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
