North Wapiti Siberian Husky Kennels
Yukon Quest/Iditarod 2006 - Tales from the Trail

March 12-16, 2006

 
Status Checks
- The Middle Part of the Race -
(see The Early Part & The Last Part)

I figured as site editor I would save others some time by keeping an ongoing log of Karen's status throughout the race. I would like to record the top teams at any given check along with the status of Karen and her close friend Jamie Nelson. Here are the Status Checks as viewed from Cabela's Iditarod - Mushers - Current Order
