Over the past four years, Andersen and his father, Marc, have completed 49 half marathons in 49 states. The last domino will fall this Saturday in Anchorage, Alaska.

In a joint meeting, Teton County commissioners and the Jackson Town Council voted to purchase two hybrid and four clean-diesel buses.
Hoback provides wobbly whitewater debut

There it was: the finish line, just around the bend and up the shore. It couldn’t have been more than 100 yards away on the fast-flowing Hoback River. Just ahead was my unknown standup paddleboard adversary in Friday night’s Big Race on the Hoback.
