Here is Dave Dalton, the musher I worked for, at another checkpoint on the Yukon Quest. There were reporters at every checkpoint during the 1,000 mile race and since Dave was in the top four, he was often in demand to be interviewed. The Quest is a huge deal in Alaska. The reporters had to check with me first to ask permission to talk to Dave. They knew that he needed his food and rest at the few and far between checkpoints. He was very accomodating, though, and they got good stories from the trail from him. Dave is a real character who drove cab in Fairbanks for years and has run the Yukon Quest for many, many years. I admire his adventerous spirit and his east coast attitude and had a great time working for him and his dogs!
