Team Zappa makes it!

Coming in 47th place for the 3rd year in a row, we make it strong into the finish shoot!

Blue Steel was a real all-star this year, leading every step of the way. He loves nothing more than belly rubs, and gets his fair share at the finish line in Nome!!

Wisdom and determination define the spirit of this amazing dog. This year was his third time making the trip to Nome.
What do you say!?

Telling reporters what a great time we had out on the trail this year, great weather and a wonderful team of best buddies to take me there, what more could a girl want?!
Proud Mama

Its hard to describe the feeling of accomplishment when the team of dogs that you raised from pups just finishes running 1000 miles across Alaska!
