Musher #2 Comes In



30 minutes later, here comes John Baker! He was on Rhone's tail, but just couldn't catch him the last 25 miles. He won this race in 2010.




 John is an incredibly gracious man from Nome. He is soft spoken and had wonderfully kind and humorous words for young Rohn. Zack, the K300 organizer, is interviewing John for the local radio station KYUK. A quote from the musher, "Today was his day (Rohn). He and his dad and his mom put together a wonderful dog team and a wonderful effort. They deserve all the credit in the world. Rohn worked really hard and he deserves the win that he's got."
Trying to get the infamous shot of the lead dogs after the race.

 We were so cold we stayed in the car waiting for the third place winner. My camera battery froze so I have no photos of Paul Gebhardt coming across the line. He was the 2011 K300 champ.

This is a great shot to show what was really happening with the wind. This race is a tough one known for its wind.....
