Hi Boys and Girls

I hope you are still watching the back of the pack.  I have been reading The Eye on the Trail reports by Terrie Hanke.  She’s been traveling with the back of the pack and reporting their stories.  It’s so much fun to read.  This morning I read that Travis Beals really picked up speed after he left Safety passing 3 other teams.  It was like he was on a mission- and he was.  Under the Burled Arches in Nome, Travis asked his girlfriend Sarah to marry him and she said YES!  Congratulations to Travis and Sarah.
