Kale said he will be reporting until 6 pm today - before he has to jump on a plane

Going to really miss his coverage on each team!!! Next best thing to being there I'd say & his commentary is so stellar!! He has really provided unprecedented coverage of the race. I think I will be donating to him via his Kale Casey Live page on FB! https://www.facebook.com/kalecaseylive/

I'm glad Allen got some YK recognition when greeting the team. Saw a photo on SP Kennel website of him hugging one of his four footed YK champs -- it looked as if it was hugging back as best it could.

I've wondered if Allen's bug may have been a leftover from that long session of -50 to -30 nights/days in YK. Possibly he doesn't know, himself, as he's the 'just keep going' type. Hope they get the bug squashed good now.

That was on Kale's footage - and it was cute. The dog was all "Yay! Dad's here too! Pick me, dad!"

You have to wonder how much abuse the human body can bounce back from, eh?

Kale also did a nice chat with Ketil Reitan (who came in hot on Matt Failor's heels - apparently they swapped leads 3-4 times in the trip in from WM - also fun to listen to).

Ketil, apparently, was the one who got Joar into this whole thing (Joar used to handle for him in Norway), as well as the blood-relationship of their dogs, which was interesting background stuff on Joar's dogs. Worth a listen.

Thanks for that info Elsie, I'll have to find that. I had Ketil in my TTP just because of the good job his son did in the Quest.

DILLI!!! There you are!!! You've been missed. I was wondering where the brownies were this year! Hope all is well with you.

Too true dilli, We've missed your tasty treats and your input about the mushers and the race.

BTW anyone with GPS can you tell me where Jeff is located. I know he is out of Safety, but how close is he?

He got in while I was looking around. Thanks to Kale! I'll be able to see rerun.

Jeff is #24 into Nome leaving 32 teams still running.
It's not over till they are all off the trail. That's what I like about this type of racing. It's not just "oooo a winner", we cheer for all of them.
