Sass stuck to his schedule and camped outside of checkpoints as he and his Team of 14 sled dogs made their way to interior Alaska to take the Dorothy Paige Halfway Award!! Congrats Brent!
About 3 hours afterwards Michelle Phillips came in, and I believe Lance Mackey just came in now according to the Tracker. Paige Drobney and Mitch Seavey are about to enter the checkpoint as I write this.
Kelly Maxiner (running dogs from Dallas Seaveys Kennel) is 15 miles from the checkpoint of Cripple.
Aliy Zirkle in a surprise move left Ophir last night and pushed on towards Cripple, and is presently resting at mile 390. Beals looks to be serving his 24 hour rest in Ophir.
It is unclear at this time if the Teams in Cripple will actually stay for their 24 hour OR push on to Ruby on the Yukon for their 24 hour rest and gourmet dinner for being the first to the Yukon!
Remember those Mushers who pulled into Takotna yesterday morning to take their 24 hour rest....well they just took back to the Trail with rested Teams....here they come Cripple!! First two Teams to come off their 24 hour rest are:
Jessie Royer at mile 335
Richie Diehl at mile 331
Kaiser, Failor, Holmes Redington, Burmeister and Smyth are still in Takotna serving their 24 hour rest.
I will be keeping an eye on Cripple to see if any of those out in Cripple may take a run to the Yukon!
