An Iditarod veteran now lives in Africa

We just heard about one of the few French Mushers who has run the Iditarod, André MONNIER. He finished in 1987 with a team of Siberian Huskies. Well, he lives now in Mauritania (a country in the western Sahara Desert), is married with a local native and raises camels in the desert. Even there, it looks like he cannot live without dogs. Here are a couple of pictures of him, one of his daughters, camels and dog. We wish him well.

Hello

Jacques is now officially sign up for Iditarod 2007

List as of June 27th

This is the only and first race we really decided on for next season.

I know I will be in Wyoming for sure, I don't know if we will have one team or two. But we LOVE Wyoming, our hosts families and the race in the Beautiful Rookie Mountains.

Jacques is going in France in July to meet with is long time sponsor ROYAL CANIN DOG FOOD... they are with him for almost 20 years now...

Other decisions about which race we enter will be done later.

Jacques arrived this morning at 8:30 am in White Mountain. He has 11 dogs I think he dropped Sphinx in Elim, he had told me last time called me Sphinx wasn't pulling anymore but he didn't know what was wrong with him.

He has an 8 hours mandatory layover there so he can leave around 4:30pm and then it is about 9 to 10 hr run to Nome...

Now I think he will be in Nome around 1am thursday morning!!!
