Not a lot to write about. As I said, it seems the news is interested mostly in the top 5-10 mushers and then.........well, everyone seems to go home......
Few tidbits:
Even though Dallas Seavey won the race and Aliy Zirkle came in second, the Nome headlines
gave accolades to Dallas but there was a picture of Aliy hugging her lead dog Quito and the caption read "Queen of Hearts". Enough said...

There are so many different kinds of sleds, like different types of engines etc at the Indy 500. A few of the racers are in the sled business like Hans Gatt of Gatt Sleds and Paige Drobrey of Dog Paddle Sleds.
After the beating the sleds must have taken on these snowless, rocky trails etc wonder what reno's they might do on next years stock. I think they should have two levels of runners---one with wheels and one with a runner. A lever could bring the wheels down when needed and "store " the runners and switch the process when called for. Oh well, what do I know!!

There are 18 Rookies in this years race. The last three mushers, who are in Safety, are rookies.
Maybe tonight they all will be in. I believe the Banquet for racers and anyone else who bought a ticket, will be tomorrow night. If all the racers aren't in, no matter when they do get in, they have their own banquet given to them. Its nice when everyone can share in the celebration together though. Awards are given out, dinner is usually catered by the Millennium Hotel from Anchorage, speaches are given and its a lot of fun. It all happens in NOME!!

Wish I was there to go to the Nome Museum on Front Street as my parka is on display there. I donated it a few years ago.

We'll see what happens tonight with the last three racers.
