UPDATE March 14, 2013 PM Edition

Hi Boys and Girls

Teams have been coming in all day.  18 teams are still out on the trail so keep a look out for their finish.  First some good news, Mae the dog that became separated from Newton Marshalls team was found today.  It looks like he was headed to his home and traveled around 400 miles to get there. 

Mike Ellis and his team of Siberians crossed the finish line today with a new Siberian Husky Team record. The new record is 1 day and 4 hours faster than the previous record. Congratulations to Mike and his team. 

Todays pic from Jeff Schultz is of one of Martin Busers dogs in Nome.  Doesn’t he/she have a beautiful face?
