...and off they go. Safe trails!

I am not sure they will drop down to Golovin but find a way through the hills and on land all the way. There is no really obvious route and I haven't been able to find any map over the old mail route.

But Nicolas wanted to wait but didn't, that suggest they should pass him..

..and they are going at a higher speed. Of course the first part might have settled itself after yesterday. I keep crossing my fingers

They appear to be following the old Iditarod trail. I've tried to see where it goes and seems to just peter out.

...and the first group are back on original trail. pretty much exactly what elsie draw yesterday. It also looks like they are waiting for all the teams (the green track is Martins and include yesterdays attempt as well):
