Mickey was out in Nikolai today and talked to both Aliy and Allen. We will have the interviews with them both up as they come in from McGrath.

As I write this, Aliy is being shown out of Nikolai with 14 dogs. However, the tracker is showing her through McGrath. We know she had to drop Bonita for a wrist in Rohn, but we don’t know who she dropped in Nikolai. Mickey had to leave before Aliy had made that decision. We believe it is either Rose, who has been suffering with a wrist injury, or Tug. Aliy was in good spirits in Nikolai, though clearly upset she had to drop Bonita. The trails are very hard and fast. That tends to aggravate wrist and shoulders as well as musher’s backs.

Allen was out of Nikolai at mile 264 with 14 dogs. He had to drop Oddball for a shoulder injury. Although he was tired, he was pleased with his dogs and his run. He was eating a big plate of spaghetti when Mickey last talked to him.

  • Please tell Bonita I'm so proud of her & I hope her wrist heals quickly. I'm thrilled with all the time I was able to spend with her & that I was able to see her off at the Ceremonial Start & the Restart. Go SP Kennel! ~Barbara
