Yukon Quest – Day 11

by Bryan

Yukon Quest map even years

Sled Dog Update at 11:45PM CST. Zack, Ken, and Sonny finished with times that also broke last year’s record. Joshua Cadzow is the first Rookie in. Good weather and a fast trail led to these times and the low attrition rate.

"Caedite eos! Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius."

Abbé Arnaud-Amaury of Citeaux

"Das war ein Vorspiel nur, dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen."

Heinrich Heine

"Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему."

Толстой Лев Николаевич

"A person who has a cat by the tail knows a whole lot more about cats than someone who has just read about them."

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett
