Top photo: Martin Buser getting dogs rearranged after sliding on the glare ice out of Koyok

Second photo: Here is SHAKTOOLIK--I remember flying into Shaktoolik from Unalakleet to Nome.

                        We were delivering mail and picking up a traveller. It sure looked a bit barren from the 

                         air and it didn't change when we got closer.

Third photo:  One of the "dropped dogs" who will be flown to Anchorage--the Millennium Hotel--

                      where there are vets and where they keep him until the musher finishes the race and                 

                       picks him up.  He looks sad, to me, that he couldn't finish the race.!!
Last photo:    Jeff King with one of his lead dogs.His two lead dogs are mother and son pair. This pic
                      suggests what I think, that Jeff doesn't seem to be a people person but perhaps just a dog
                  .   person.
