Quest
Last weekend there was a summer snowstorm up in the mountains, with winds clocked at 97 mph and whiteout conditions, several of the mushers and their teams lost the trail. Because they were overdue Quest officials called out the national guard for air rescue (conditions were too bad for a ground search).Reactions to the rescue were mixed, some were mad because they had to forfeit (because they had to be flown out), a few were angry because they weren't rescued soon enough and nearly died up there, sill others felt the race officials did the right thing. Other local news, the Iron dog snow-machine race had to be rerouted because of unfrozen rivers and thawed conditions.Sounds like global warming to me!
