Iditarod: Fini!

Celeste Davis crossed the finish line minutes after 8 PM AKDT becoming the 55th and final musher to do so this year. She and she alone gets to extinguish the Red Lantern which remains lit until the final musher is in.

One heck of a race.
Fifty-five finishers out of 71 at the start.
Second fastest victory.
Fourth consecutive for Lance Mackey.
NO doggie fatalities.
Fastest Red Lantern ever.
And everyone gets to attend the awards banquet tomorrow!

One heck of a race!!

I believe you're an Alaskan at heart, and may find - when you get here - that you don't want to leave.
