Nicolas Petit who scratched early Thursday morning was brought to a cabin between Elim and White Mountain by Golovin Search and Rescue, at that time. He has since been resting in the cabin with all the supplies he needs for the dog team and himself, including a satellite phone. Petit has chosen to wait for his fellow mushers, who had to turn back to Elim today due to poor trail conditions, with the possibility to follow them back to Nome.

We will keep everyone updated.
