The crowds gather as Lance Makey makes his way off of the Berring Sound ice onto Front Street in Nome
Lance makes his way under the famous "Burled Arch" that marks the finish of the Iditarod.
Media swarm the 4 time champion for pictures and interviews
The Dodge truck on the left is one of the prizes Lance wins
The 2010 Iditarod Champion broke a record by being the first musher to win 4 consecutive Iditarods. He was within an hour of breaking the fastest time ever.
Our wonderful view from behind the Arch
Dick Mackey, Lance's father is a former Iditrod Champion and welcomed his son to Nome
Lance leads his healthy looking team to the dog lot to be fed, bedded down in straw, and pampered by dog lot volunteers
