This morning at 4:53 my musher Dries finished the race in 12th place. He moved up 10 positions. His total time out on the trail was 10 days, 15 hours, and 44 minutes. The dogs looked healthy throughout the race although a couple were dropped for their safety. As Dries left them behind at a checkpoint, I would pick them up and they would then ride with me between checkpoints.
For the next couple days we are staying with a host family here in Canada and enjoying the company of the other mushers. Tonight I am going to the Hot Springs with one of my new musher friends, Emmit Peters. He raced in the 70's and has many interesting stories to tell. On Saturday, we will attend the awards banquet before starting our journey back to Alaska.
