Wow...what a day! John Baker looks like he may clinch his first Iditarod Win tomorrow...but first he has to get to White Mountain. There will be a mandatory 8 hour rest for all Mushers in this checkpoint 77 miles from the finish line in Nome. So, the way they file into White Mountain, will be the order they leave White Mountin tomorrow. Right now, Ramey Smyth is just 4 miles behind Baker...and Ramey is KNOWN for his fast runs into Nome from White Mountain. It will be a good race to watch for sure!
Baker is about 13 miles outside of White Mountain right now, and it looks as though Ramey is traveling slightly faster 4 miles behind him. The closer Ramey can close the gap in the next few hours will be critical for his chances to overtake Baker tomorrow on their mad dash to Nome!
