Dang. I was sad to see the three new scratches. Hope all--musher and dogs--are well. How fortunate for them that Kale was on the scene. Looking forward to his report.

It looked so good so long, but I guess the tough conditions is starting to take its toll.

It also looks to me that the back of the pack is traveling quite fast, I remember years ago that mushers haven't reached Yukon when the winner reached Nome. Currently, the last three mushers are in Eagle Island and will most likely be at least in Kaltag before the front gets to the burled arch.

Was thinking the same, the mild weather has benefitted the dogs a d The musher

Wonder if we will have a fastest red lantern?

According to ITC the quickest red lantern is Cindy Abbott in 2017. She used 12 days, 2 hours, 57 minutes and 31 seconds "..a faster red lantern time than the first 19 winning times."

2017 was a very fast year.
