Yukon Quest Food Drops

It is two weeks out from the race start and the Yukon Quest Food Drops were turned in today. Allen, Ray and Aliy delivered a bulging truck load of supplies to Summit Logistics in Fairbanks.

Musher after musher pulled into the busy parking lot and volunteers unloaded thousands of pounds of dog food, dog gear, musher supplies and race gear. These "A. MOORE" labeled and sorted bags will travel out to the Yukon Quest checkpoints ~ Two Rivers, Mile 101, Central, Circle, Eagle, Dawson, Pelly, Carmacks, Braeburn ~ in the coming weeks. Aliy turned in her supplies and paperwork for the Yukon Quest 300.

Allen went over his mandatory Food Drop paperwork and confirmed times and dates for his required race meetings and functions with the Yukon Quest Operations Manager.

Allen and Aliy were able to talk to the Race Marshal, Doug Grilliot as well as friend and Race Judge, Bob McAlpine. They said that the trail is currently taking shape and the checkpoints are being stocked. The race half-way checkpoint, Dawson City, will again be at the campground across from town despite a slow freeze-up for the Yukon River.
