See video at Pete Kaiser’s website (or Facebook page). Very worried about Nic. :(

Looked at the weather, it's 10 knots from north. Temperature is around freezing and perhaps a bit of light snow (not sure about that).
Peter is three miles behind Nicolas.

Pete just passed him, so it cant be all bad... At least not life threatening.

This is strange... I sense a shut down of the team:(. Petit is now moving ever so slowly again, but only at walking speed.

Nicolas is green again, speed = 0.5mph. But Joar is quite close so perhaps he will be ready when Joar passes.

Look very much like a shut down (or parking in norwegian :) ). Nicolas is blipping between orange and green, his speed varies between 1.2 mph and 0.3mph. Joar is passing him now.

Is there a cabin close to where Nic is slowly moving?

Yes, on the small strip of land he is about to cross there is a small shelter cabin.

Thanks guys. I saw Danny Seavey's post in Alaska Mushing News (on fb) and got freaked out, mainly because HE seemed pretty concerned. Then I watched the video and thought it was strange how the team was moving at a nice clip and then basically stopped. A few short blips but then nothing. Some people thought he might've encountered water. Danny was perplexed, Hans G and Susan were perplexed...but I understand someone got a visual on him and he's "okay" (whatever that means). This was confirmed by Sebastian.

I appreciate any word on his movement. I only have video, not GPS.

Too much excitement this early in the morning. Having my coffee and in a little bit I'm off to the city (3 hr drive). Ugh. My timing is terrible. :(

Nicolas is on the spit of land, where there has been some kind of shelter earlier. He is doing 3mph. I guess he will stop at the shelter.
