Love how Dwayne Beals is live streaming the finishers on FaceBook!! He has done an awesome job and I sent him a few bucks to cover fuel and data.

I loved Jessie's finish video, and the accolades she give to the Quest and how much she liked it. What a team she has.....and these are mostly yearlings!

Sorry I haven't been here much this race. I have been traveling (not Alaska, unfortunately) and have had limited access to the internet this past week. Missing you guys who aren't on Facebook. I have kept up with that. Hugs to all, and good luck picking the TTP for the Iditarod.

Uh oh - Sebastien took a wrong turn onto the Chena River and is currently headed *away* from the finish line (and closer to getting Red Lantern :) )

He's spotted his error and is headed back, but he's not going to beat Ben Good who's closing fast on the point where Sebastien took his wrong turn.

Sebastian is 9 miles behind, that's a way to secure the red lantern :)

They have 8 and 17 miles to go to the finish line! In a couple of hours yq 2017 is finished.
