Larry hangs it up


Lance and Larry:

If you've been following the Iditarod you'll know by now that Lance Mackey has won it again. In fact, he's won it three times in a row putting him among the greats in the race.

Larry the lead dog is the big highlight in this story. He's lead Lance to 7 out 8 victories in 1,000 mile races. Being the ripe old age of nine he's ready to hang it up and throttle back some. Look at that face, he's another dog that's got charisma. Maybe him and Logwagger are related...

It's a whirlwind:

We're packing up last minute items and starting to plot what goes down and what stays around here. All weaving projects have been suspended for the higher cause of getting ready to head down the highway. I finished off the Porkypod sample for class that has been lovingly dubbed the "Shrek" basket due it's coloration. That'll give you a visual.

I'm gonna miss reading your Alaskan entries on the blog. So are a few others who are following via our Talkeetna RSS feed (http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Talkeetna). I don't seem to remember entries from down south, but if you get a chance, love to see what life is like down there too! (Sorry if you did post when Outside ... maybe I wasn't following then?)
