 MARCH 20,2022

Now we hear how the saga out of WHITE MOUNTAIN unfolded. There was an interview from BRIDGETT WATKINS and GERHARDT THIART -- the two rescued.

First, let's go back to those last four that finally came into NOME in the middle of last night, after waiting for the ok from the MARSHALL to leave WHITE MOUNTAIN.  Again, EVERYONE  in NOME to greet them. Extra cheers for these 4 who underwent some brutal weather.  

 The last team into NOME----IDITAROD 2022 --50 years is APAYAUQ REITAN. Although it is the last team, It is a coveted award-THE RED LANTERN AWARD: It is a symbol of the final musher's perseverance in not giving up, making the decision to fulfill their team's purpose. 

The two mushers BRIDGETT WATKINS and GERHARDT THIART, who survived a weather ordeal  in an area between WHITE MOUNTAIN and SAFETY. They had to scratch as they had to be rescued. Their story begins on the next page.
