Two more mushers have scratched--ZOYA DENURE and GWENN BOGART both in TANANA. I have looked everywhere to find out the why's and still don't know.
It has been very cold at night, especially if you are camping with your dogs. Down to -40.
The front runners are in RUBY and some on to the half way point HUSLIA. Many will take their 24 hours there. MITCH SEAVEY took his in TANANA. The reports are WHY? Most want to wait till further in the race but you have to "listen" to your dogs and yourself. You make your own game plan.
LANCE MACKEY is reported to be having difficulty with his hands. As I have said before, he has been having trouble with circulation especially in his hands. His brother JASON has told him he will race with him. Jason will help him when needed and Lance can give him his  expert race advice and share in his past experience. You are some fighter Lance!!
