MARCH 14th, cont'd

still have power but still snowing.
UPDATE:

MITCH is now out of WHITE MOUNTAIN the rest of the top pack are into their 8 hour layover there.
MITCH says this is a ride of a lifetime for him. He is enjoying his dogs, good run and having fun.
When his team came in THE INSIDER MEN said he looked rested and ready to go on as did his dog team. Their tails were wagging and they were pushing against their harness to keep going. So after an
8 hour rest they were nothing but energy!!
