First Jamaican Musher In Yukon Quest Sled Dog Finals
The Yukon Quest 1,000 Mile International Sled Dog Race is not a day out with the dogs in the park. This is the toughest 1000 Miles for man and dogs ever! Now tell me what on earth is a Jamaican doing on that icy trek? Well he’s Dog Sledding. Dog what? And what the devil is a musher anyway? Remember last year when I told you the story about Sun Dogs in Jamaica Dog Sled Team: Coolest Sun Dogs On Ice?
Well the ’story come to bump’ as we’d say in Jamaica.
Newton Marshall has now gone down in history as Jamaica’s first musher to make it to the Finals of the 1000 Yukon Quest. Newton was born, raised, and lived all his life in Jamaica. What this man know bout ice? Well, apparently enough to have finished ahead of half of the competitors in the Copper Basin 300 Championship on Monday January 19, 2009. He came in 13th out of 27 mushers with a time of 61hrs and 41mins. Did I mention the snow?
