Last night, while I was in chat, I was also emailing a customer/friend from AK that lives by Paul Gebhardt. Towards the end, he emailed saying:

"Paul just called me he is in Seattle in a apartment like you said with his daughter he had bone cancer finished up treatments he said today he is felling better and should be home 3 to 4 weeks he said his top dogs are in the race dont remember the mushers name he is in 5th place i hope he dose well i had a good long talk with Paul he sounds good"

I'm guessing the musher with Paul's dogs might be Pete Kaiser?

Ray Redington is running some of Paul's dogs.

Yes, just heard that elsewhere, too - Ray Redington Jr

Braider, you can read more about Paul at his Gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/help-paul-gebhardt-beat-cancer

Thanks for that ikh - a really good spot to see that - over 30 of the mushers between Grayling and Kaltag at the moment.

Here is a story from KTUU about Nic and food bags.

Any news why Jeff is so far back?

He got pinned down at Don's cabin ( before Iditarod) for 8 hrs in a snowstorm, and he planned his 24 for Iditarod.

oops.

Happy to know it's not a dog or musher issue at play with Jeff.

Good article on Nic. Love the bit of teasing from Sebastian.
