Both Allen and the dogs had a nice warm break in Unalakleet this morning. Fresh blueberry pancakes and eggs were on the menu, and we all made sure not to pass it up. During breakfast, Allen gave us a brief recap of his dog team:
Not only was Allen comfortable in Unalakleet, but the dogs as well! There was hardly any wind this morning, blue skies, and balmy temperatures. Plus the dogs had enough straw to fill a barn!
In case you can’t tell, Chacha is under the straw next to JJ!
Four hours later, Allen switched to a lighter sled, dropped any extra gear, and took off for the last 300 miles of the Iditarod.
Poor Allen…let him eat…those pancakes looked awfully good!!
I think the musher got some really good pancakes! Nummy!
