...and now Jeff Reid is stalled in Safety. He left Safety at 10:15 a.m. but only got about half a mile before turning back.
Cathry came through at 12:15, left, but also turned back after a short distance (wondering about a ground blizzard?).
Finally Josh Robbins showed up at 3:30 p.m and stayed a couple of hours.
Jeff tried to leave at 5 pm, was passed by Josh, but still only got about half a mile.
Cathry left just behind Josh, also passing Jeff, but Jeff's dogs didn't take the bait, so he turned back again and has been there since 6 pm (nearly 4 hours at the time of writing this, just under 11 hours after first arriving in Safety).
Cathry just finished - dogs confused coming into the chute and not keen, but they got them under the arch where they proceeded to bark up a storm.
They did not award Cathry the red lantern, so there's still hope for Jeff. .
