 The top 6 mushers in the 2007 Yukon Quest have all departed Dawson for Eagle, AK. Lance Mackey was the first to leave at 12:23 pm this afternoon. Lance's team looked ready for the challenge as they barked and lunged into their harnesses. William Kleedehn followed Mackey out of the Dawson City campground at 4:46 pm. William was at the staging area with plenty of time to joke with race fans and officials. His team looked fresh and ready to go. Hugh Neff was right on his heels at 5:07 pm followed by a great looking team of Gerry Willowmitzer's dogs. Hans Gatt departed at 6:48 pm with a well rested dog team as well. Sebastian Schnuelle is reported to be in the staging area. As the front runners left their campsites and ran down the road to the staging area, mushers in the middle of the pack gave a wave and a vote of confidence to the Top 6 then returned their attention back to the care of their dogs.
