Karen Ramstead was checking mushers into RP.
Nic Petit in RP:
"Trail was soft after Skwentna for a bit - had some friends visiting on snow machines to watch me mush..." and after they passed a couple of times, the trail was messed up. "My dad was at Shell Lake [just after Skwentna] - that was cool".
"On the way to Rainy, normally the way we come is a little shorter, ... I guess glaciation is an issue, but I've never had a problem with it, but this time they added a couple of miles and they were pretty steep miles".
Ray Redington's dogs were barking to keep going at RP.

The guy checking in the dogs at Finger Lake was great - so soothing and welcoming:
"How was your run in? ...Oh, very nice...
So will you be staying with us?... oh excellent, great to hear..." in his best hospitality voice.
Joar's dogs at Finger Lake were screaming and squeaking to keep going. He stayed to rest.
Wade chuckling at FL: "They don't want to go any faster than 3 mph, but they don't want to stop either"... (dogs jumping in harness)
