Evening in White Mountain

With the race for 1st and 2nd being clearly defined and many, many people reporting from the finishing line, I am spending the night in White Mountain, same as last year and will follow the next group of teams in tomorrow. Aliy had just been woken up from her much needed nap. She said, ” I wished I would get my feeling in my hands back, so I can stuff my sleeping bag in the stuff sack. ” This shows you how much mushers work behind the sled. Brent was walking back up to the checkpoint building after heating another meal for his dogs. Joar was having dinner after cleaning out his sled and Wade and Pete are sleeping. I am going to get some sleep myself and will give you an update on the White Mountain happenings later tonight or early tomorrow morning. Lots of teams en route over here. Good night! Sebastian
