The next 2 mushers to arrive are competing for a Top 10 Position, Actually make the next 4 Mushers. They all arrived in quick succession. Paige Drobny, Travis Beals, Ryan Redington and Aaron Burmeister are all parked up against the river bank. Paige was joking about how she had a hard time to keep up with her dogs: ” I am not firing on all cylinders “. 

At the same time Aliy Zirkle was getting here team ready to leave. She did drop one of here SP Kennel dogs here, leaving with 12 dogs. Jessie Holmes left half an hour earlier with the same 11 dogs he arrived with. The tide( high tide at 3 a.m. ) is playing a bit havoc with the usual team parking, with sea water seeping through the ice. 

It is going to be a busy night here in Unalakleet. Matt Failor seems to have a huge following. There were no less than 8 pizzas from famous Peace On Earth waiting here for him. Thankfully Matt does share!
