MARCH 12TH, 2022 RUBY GALENA, NULATO, KALTAG, UNALAKLEET
I'm going to try with the video's again.It looks like BRENT SASS is winning all the awards. BRENT is running at 9mph and DALLAS is running at 6 mph BUT DALLAS is known for his jumping ahead by WHITE MOUNTAIN and putting the pedal to the metal to NOME. We'll see.TEMP in KALTAG 18 degrees and wind 19mph. TEMP in UNALAKLEET is 12 degrees 19 mph winds. It is getting colder. FROM RUBY to KALTAG it took BRENT 19 1/2 hours, DALLAS same and Jessie Holmes 141/2 hours.
There was a 5 point earthquake today near ANCHORAGE but not enough to shake anyone up. At 10pm EST standings are: BRENT SASS,DALLAS SEAVEY, JESSIE HOLMES, AARON BURMEISTER, RICHIE DIEHL,RYAN REDINGTON, MILLE PORSILD, MITCH SEAVEY, CHAD STODDARD, PETE KAISER(top 10)--All in KALTAG --3 more in KALTAG, 11 in NULATO, 13 in GALENA, 3 in RUBY.
The mushers said in KALTAG they could start feeling the weather--cold. Everyone but JEFF KING has taken their 24. Must not be correct--can't imagine that. Only 8 mushers have not taken their 8 hour mandatory rest--JEFF KING, CHAD STODDARD, JOSH MCNEAL,MATT FAILOR and those at the end of the line. NEXT : to go from KALTAG to UNALAKLEET its 85 miles but each year when they arrive in UNALAKLEET they breath a sigh of relief. Seems it's a tough run. Hank and I, again, spent quite a bit of time in UNALAKLEET. There is one "restaurant" the pizza place and nothing else but nice people. We slept on the floor there as there is no other place to stay. They were wonderful and it was such fun there. They also brought many HOT pizzas down to the checkpoint, for the mushers, that were very well received. Let's see how everyone does in this weather change and tough trails ahead
