Ophir - Iditarod - Shageluk

[mira]

Haven't Buser taken 24 for in Ruby once?

It's a long way to Iditarod and to Shageluk

Joar is on his way, currently flying at 9.3 mph. I am very curious about his speed.

Aliy is going steady at 5.5-6 mph, 12 miles to go to Iditarod.
Martin Buser is 6-6.5 mph, 50 miles to go to Iditarod.

He's def going substantially faster than Aliy was.

I've been watching, and Martin and Aliy have been a steady 39-40 miles apart the entire time, so no gains there.

If this weather forecast is right, I guess the ones leaving Ophir now is quite lucky. No precipitation for the next 12 hours or so. Just looked at the cams from Iditarod, it's not snowing. Aliy is just around the corner!

Aliy arrived in Iditarod one lunch ago

Shouldn't Nic be back on the trail by now....02.12 AKT?

Update: Ok - he's gone now

From Aliys interview, the checker welcoming her "are you going through?" she answered with "that's really funny"

The trackers and the colours are playing games with us... Nicolas has been green for much of his stay in Ophir, so perhaps it will be orange now he starts to move?

Looking at Joar speed, I think he should give a huge thank to Martin Buser (and Aliy) for setting up a nice trail for him

Martin has been resting for one hour, Joar is 12 miles behind Martin.

Peter is about 1 mile in front of Nicolas, Jessie R siz miles in front of Peter. All four of them having good speed.

...and Joar stops at Don's cabin. For how long....?
