27 miles of Separation

Wow...there are only 27 miles separating the front runner (King) from the next 10 mushers. Mackey is now 5 miles behind him, and they are peppered by 2 to 5 miles all the way down the line heading towards Ruby. Kings speed is impressive...he is having the ride of his life...things are really coming together for him. He is the only one up there who has 15 dogs.
