What’s happening with Nic Petit???

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Can you tell how much further past the cabin Matt F had gone before turning around?

I saw him stopped there and wondered if hed gotten caught up in the Nic drama somehow - if his dogs had gotten weirded out by whatever they were doing with Nic's dog?

Can't tell exactly. But I posted gps update on other thread 31 mins ago. At that point Matthew was at mile 795 and running and the gps was last updated 9 mins ago. So he went at least two miles past Nic before turning back.

Some chatter on the Alaska Mushing News FB page, with Danny Seavey, that Nic and team are in route to Shaktoolik via SAR snow machines.
