Re: Copper Basin 300 started yesterday

Newton is making pretty good time - hope he finishes at least in top ten - Lance has been running a close second to Brent Sass... hope he can inch past him. The checkpoint stops are killers with the time...

Re: Copper Basin 300 started yesterday

According to final results at Copper Basin site... Lance Mackay finished 2nd with 10 dogs, Newton finished 20th with 12 dogs

Go Newton!

Re: Copper Basin 300 started yesterday

<span style="font-size: 11pt">((Roots)) Will post links to more photos when they come on line -some of the groups are using flikr and others to host their photos so we can only post links for many... hopefully Nanook and I can post some custom shots of our own soon!


Good point to note... Newton was the only musher in the top 20 to finish with all 12 dogs - others finished with 10 or 11 - good indicator as to how well Newton takes care of his team.</span>

Re: Copper Basin 300 started yesterday

I was just coming to report about Newton being the ONLY musher to come in with his whole team.

No dropped dogs, that is HUGE! I love Newton more and more every time I read bits about him.

I am looking forward to more pics. Glad you are able to post updates Sistah D cause right now I basically only scan Facebook!

Roots, are you friends with JDT?

Here is a link, then on your FB wall, you will see updates as they are reported too...

Way to go Newton

Re: Copper Basin 300 started yesterday

Nan I checked their schedule - not registered fo Beargrease this time, but will be at Snowflake...



I have a friend here interested to make the day trip to watch Jermain -about a 3 hr drive from here on the 22nd (gotta make some jerk chicken and get hard dough bread for him)

Re: Copper Basin 300 started yesterday

I think Lance is breaking in some new dogs on his team... might be why he finished in 2nd place. Also saw reports that there was a lot of 'overflow' so I guess that posed problems too.
