                and GB Jones were located near each other and June snagged both
                for a picture. 
                 June was there to help with GB's team. 
                  
                Karen and Bob Ford 
                  
                This was Karen's Idita-rider. Isn't she darling? 
                  
                Karen's dog catches a nap 
                  
                June was not sure if this was Karen's Pirate or not but
                loved the picture of that stressed out sled dog waiting for the
                big event in her truck early in the morning. 
                  
                After the weekend being around so many dogs, it was tough to
                keep them straight but this one is special to June. Karen's Oden,
                aka Odie, who was about the size of one of Cym's puppies when
                June first met Karen and her wonderful fur kids and she
                considers him "her" North Wapiti dog. 
                  
                June had to grab Karen belatedly and ask her to put a
                bandana on her dogs made by Donna Finner.  
                  
                Thank you, Eagle Pack, for your support of Karen. 
                  
                June finds it rather ironic to have a running love affair
                with Karen's "pedigreed" beauties as well as GB's
                solid working Alaskan Huskies but, states "How can you help
                not love 'em all?" 
                  
                Karen's fur kids were gorgeous according to June. 
                  
                Like her dogs, Karen seemed the picture of calm efficiency. 
                  
                This was my last pix on the street as Karen's team was about
                to pull out. 
                  
                Even though June couldn't take pictures of the team she was
                helping get to the starting line, it did put her in a great
                position to snap Karen as she came to the start line. 
                  
                After running GB's dogs up to the starting chute, June ran
                out of the chute, around a truck, then grabbed her camera to
                snap pictures of Karen. 
                  
                Mark and Karen on the way. Mark would later rescue June,
                helping to get GB's stuff off the river and back to a vehicle.
                June wanted to say, "Thanks, Mark!!! I'd probably still be
                standing on that dang river without your help....unless I'd
                fallen thru by now."
