Barrie to the Rescue

About 9:30 last night, Lance Mackey and Newton Marshall drove off with Barrie's pickup. Lance's pickup had quit in Farson, and they were having it towed into Pinedale. (Both dog teams were on the truck.) Lance called Barrie for help, they dug out the horse trailer, and will use her truck today.

Lance is the four time winner of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, and Newton is the Jamaican who ran the Iditarod last year.

This is "Fat Albert", Lance's truck. Barrie took this in Jackson before the race started. Lance's and Newton's sleds are beside the truck, with the lines laid out.
