Howdy! There’s enough internet here in Cantwell for a photo update:
Big Red on the road from Faribanks to Cantwell. A beautiful day, no winds, almost too warm (about zero)…
Arrival in Cantwell, time to unload the dogs so they can stretch, etc.
Debbie howled at nearby teams, for Betsy it was a yawner.
Your SP Kennel Teams at the mushers’ meeting to get their briefing…
Aliy draws her starting number…
Good news!… Two teams with early starts!
The dogs are now back out of the trucks, having a big hot meal. We will all head to the starting area within the hour to have plenty of time to bootie, harness, hook-up… You know the routine!
