ATTENTION: I have a beautiful video of the aurora on my facebook page. Please check it out. Not able to transfer it to my blog yet. That's how I experienced the Aurora when I was at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. Magical.

DeeDee Jondrow looks weather beaten!! She arrived in HUSLIA with 6 frostbitten fingers. Cold like they haven't seen before. The people at the checkpoints said they usually see the mushers pull their hoods back when they check- in but NOT ONE musher has done that yet. All gear has been left on, even gloves to sign their name to the check in sheet. After UNALAKLEET they will be a tab bit warmer but with the winds off the Bering Sea.

Can't win, I guess. Its the IDITAROD!!!
