Preparations are underway for the Cantwell Classic...just 10 days away. Hard to believe that it's almost here. We've picked up the fish, replaced the blade in the saw, picked up more meat, we're going over the sleds, etc. I'll start packing my drop bag (we're only allowed 1 bag) in a few days. We'll get a few more runs on the dogs through the weekend, doing at least one more 50 mile run and double runs. I'll be repairing harnesses (we have a few dogs who've developed a taste for them!), going over gangline, replacing necklines, etc. We ordered a new parka, got more handwarmers, purchased new headlamp bulbs (found that danged spare bulb that I needed the other night!), and another little LED light. Still, lots to do!
On another note, I've decided to run the 2007 Quest 300 this year. However, before this becomes a reality, there are some details that need to be worked out. I'll be working on some fundraising, to hopefully relieve some of the financial burden that going to Whitehorse will entail. I hope to secure a sponsor or two, as I'll need the funds for the entry fee, as well as money for fuel, food, etc. I believe that if things are meant to be, it'll happen. Dreams can and do come true...you just have to want it bad enough. Still, everyone needs a little help once in a while...
In the meantime, I'll be focusing on the Cantwell Classic. I've planned out my race strategy (plan A and a plan B) and have pretty much narrowed down the race team to the 12 dogs I'll be taking. Check back for updates as we get closer to the start line. Thanks for visiting!!! :o)

If you ever plan on running the Yukon Quest maybe I could handle for you. I've sort of volunteered to handle for Wayne Hall in 2009 or so if he needs help. But that remains to be seen. Keep me in mind if you need someone.
