The Top 3 are assembling in Shaktoolik. Well, more actually Top 4, as Sonny Lindner is coming right after Martin Buser, This is a real tight race. Then there is a little bit of a gap, with the next team coming right off the Blueberry Hills. The dogyard here in Shaktoolik is somewhat tight. At least the spots which are out of the wind are not plentiful. Talking about which, the temperature has risen to minus 1F and the wind is not as brisk anymore. That is very nice for the mushers and bystanders alike.
Martin Buser pulled in at 5.27 with 12 dogs. We could hear them barking away a storm when the entered town. Here some Martin Buser pictures, enjoy:
