Former Forest Lake resident Ken Anderson has tied his best-ever finish in the Iditarod sled dog race. The Fairbanks, AK resident was the fourth musher to Nome, where he arrived at 9:25 Tuesday night (Alaska time). The 10-year veteran of the race also came in fourth in 2008. This time, he finished about six-and-a-half hours behind Lance Mackey, who became the first musher to win four straight Iditarods. Anderson, 37, finished the race with 10 of his original 16 dogs.
