Hi Boys and Girls,

Good Morning.  Nome has been a busy place since yesterday morning.  19 mushers  have arrived since Joar went under the Burled Arches. Matthew Failor and Ketil Reitan arrived 12 seconds apart.  I bet that was exciting to see.  There are still 38 teams out on the trail.   Let’s cheer them on!

Look at the race updates and try to figure out when the Red Lantern position will reach Nome.  Will they make it before the finishers banquet on Sunday?  I sure hope everyone will make it. All photos today are provided by Julien Schroder.  Thanks Julien

Have a great day!

See you on the trail,
