Morgan Anderson

Morgan started watching the Eagle Cap Extreme through school and as soon as she could she started helping with the race.  One year a musher asked her to run his spare team, but she was unable due to lack of experience.  However, this put a bug in her ear that she might be able to do this.  The next year she was given a dog from another musher and it all snowballed from there!

Her mushing highlight was running dogs with her Austrian sister Charlotte as well as running the ECX 100 mile race with her dad.  Her most embarrasing dog situation was when she and Charlotte were hooking up two four dog teams.  They hooked up Charlotte's team first and then Morgan's, but since she didn't have a leader she asked Charlotte to watch her team so they didn't tangle.  Charlotte's team proceeded to pop their snow hook and take off up the trail.  Charlotte took chase with Morgan's team while Morgan drove the truck around to head them off at Salt Creek Summit.  Morgan got to Salt Creek summit and when she walked down the trail she found that Charlotte had somehow hooked up all eight dogs to one sled and was happily mushing her first eight dog team!
