About 10 miles from the sled-dog starting gate, a blazing fire at a sled drop point provided warm comfort in the otherwise frigid darkness. The stars and moon were as intense as they can be, but they were still as cold as diamonds in the outer space deep freeze. I learned that teen-age boys are good people to hire as bon-fire tenders. They guarantee that the flames stay high and the heat radiates intensely. We had steam coming out of our gloves and coats.
