Jim Stanford of Mosquito Lake finishes seventh of 15 mushers in the Silver Sled Race in Haines Junction, Y.T., Saturday. Stanford said his eight-dog team was leading the 20-mile event before they turned down a wrong trail. The race course included sections of a trail between Haines Junction and the ghost town of Silver City, and featured long vistas of gorgeous mountain ranges, Stanford said. Stanford has competed in the race 13 times. Billy Abercrombie photo.
