Many unconventional strategies
Still in Mc Grath. We should have both machines running again and soon hit the trail, bound for Iditarod. Having good internet here , I finally looked a the tracker, as I was not able to do that before. Not sure how many of you ( or if I am the only one who did …
Hi Boys and Girls, Hope you have a great day today. We should be seeing the teams starting their 24 hour rests today and tomorrow. That just means the there will be less activity on the trail. Our photo from Jeff Schultz today is of one of Mike Ellis’ Siberian Huskies in the checkpoint of …

Real nice run over from Nikolai. The weather was nice for pictures, even Denali looming in the background over Nikolai. Just passed Aaron right before Mc Grath. Little ” Moss – Moss ” still in lead. He came and went at 6.29. Spirit of the North Award! At the same time, Martin Buser is …
