Leaving Dawson City

After a wonderful 36 hour rest, the Ryno Kennel Team is back on the Yukon Quest trail. During the rest, while Kalyn took care of our wonderful puppy athletes, Ryne did not budge for one 12 hour period getting much needed rest. But with all cylinders firing this morning, they are excited to get back onto the trail.

This next section, Dawson City to Pelly Crossing, is the longest section between checkpoints on the trail. Plus there is King Solomon’s Dome to tackle. Sleds must contain all the food, supplies, and gear needed with no drop bags available for 210 miles. Go TEAM RYNO!!

One last bit of news I think we failed to post, Smoky was dropped in Eagle due to illness. A bug went through the team with Smoky having the hardest time shaking it; that was why the team stayed extra in Eagle. Ryne had hoped he would shake it quicker, but Smoky ended up being flown out to Dawson and is with the handler team now — feeling great and wishing he was with his buddies on the trail today.

TIME TO WAKE UP!
