P3186681 On Friday, March 18, 2005, Kate met me on 2nd Avenue in downtown Fairbanks for the first day of the 2005 Open North American Sled Dog race. There were 16 teams that were getting ready to run the 20 mile course. When I first got there I happened to notice Miss Alaska walking around taking pictures with some of the mushers. I took one of her with this guy since she was close enough. This year, as with last year, snow had to be added to the street for the start since most of the snow was already melting by this time in March. P3186681
P3186682 I had fun taking a lot of pictures of the dogs in all of the teams. P3186682
P3186684 These two were very happy dogs, and couldn't wait to run. P3186684
P3186686 This team was lined up on the side of there mushers vehicle before being added to the sled. P3186686
P3186687 This dog couldn't contain himself. He was barking a lot. P3186687
P3186692 Another shot of the same team. P3186692
P3186693 Some of the dogs of the Michi and Sato Konno Kennel. P3186693
P3186694 The dogs of the Streeper Kennel along side their vehicle. Buddy Streeper won the 2003 Open North American Sled Dog Championships - Kate and my first year seeing the race. He was the only one since 1998 to win other than Egil Ellis, who eventually won this race as well. P3186694
P3186695 These dogs were pretty relaxed, but some were just a little nervous of all the people - I'm guessing the one under the vehicle. P3186695
P3186696 I liked the dark one in this photo. P3186696
P3186697 Again, he/she was looking ahead to what was going on. P3186697
P3186698 A close-up of the one under the vehicle. P3186698
P3186699 The starting and finishing line to the race. P3186699
P3186701 A look to the west down 2nd avenue. P3186701
P3186702 The Hutten team was very sleepy... P3186702
P3186703 ...as can also be seen in this photo. The one standing up on the left was actually dozing off on his/her feet. P3186703
P3186705 Some of the more excited dogs, just had to be heard. P3186705
P3186707 They were from Cousins Hide a Way Kennels. P3186707
P3186708 One of the reserve dogs just chillin' in his/her home for the day. Pretty cute. P3186708
P3186709 Another dog from one of the other teams was nervous of all the people, so hiding under the vehicle was more the way to go. P3186709
P3186710 A look at the Cushman Street Bridge that crosses over the Chena River in downtown Fairbanks. I like how they always display the 50 state flags. On major holidays they have all the flags replaced with the U. S. flags. P3186710
P3186711 This guy may look scared, but he just wants to run. P3186711
P3186716 These happy dogs were rarin' to go! P3186716
P3186724 These dogs were getting ready for the run as another teammate is hooked up to the line. P3186724
P3186728 Barks are let out as they want to run. P3186728
P3186731 This one was jumpin' for joy as the team is nearing the start. P3186731
P3186747 The lead dogs of this team begin their 20 mile run. P3186747
P3186755 Some action as this team cruises down the starting area. P3186755
P3186760 Another dog jumps for joy since he/she knows it is only seconds away from the start. P3186760
P3186765 This shot shows you how excited these dogs get to race - 4 guys and the team's musher attempt to hold the dogs back for a fair start... P3186765
P3186767 ...then the team bursts out of the gate. P3186767
P3186769 In the middle of a bark, this dog looks like he is smiling with all fangs... P3186769
