Vids in Takotna:
- Joar: said no point going to ID if it's snowing. He's going to see what happens. Bruce thought he wanted to go to ID and wondered if the weather coming in had dissuaded him, but it sounded more like Joar's dogs needed to stop earlier. Talked again about Jaeger - did Kusko with him, and he's turning into a great dog. He put him out in lead with another dog, but Jaeger kept pushing the other dog out of the way, so he finally just put him in single lead and let him get on with it. Said being in single lead doesn't seem to cost the dog anything, he's just rolling around in the snow, happy as anything. He's a b/w dog with a big rangy gait.
- Trail to Ophir is basically a road. Bruce speculating that Matt Hall might go on to Ophir. And that because Nic rested a short while in McGrath, he probably will too. [edit: he went through Tak]
- Bruce says that Mitch says not to try anything wild and extreme - better to stick to known strategies.
