Does she still have 16 dogs? The 'no. of dogs' box is blank on current standings. Anyone know?

Is she taking the 24 at Rohn, or is she just enjoying the scenery?

I don't know Motor. Very mysterious. Maybe someone forgot to update the stats?

Tangles posted this info:

'news just in on our kim! from kelly and chuck at alaska sky trekking

Unfortunately no one has been able to give any birthday greetings to our Kimbo as they have indeed been grounded with weather. Not sure if it's looking better for today or not. Per the website, she's still in Rohn and trail conditions out of Rohn are HORRIBLE right now with the warm water - open water- so my guess is she's waiting until trail gets better. '

hmmmmmmm - just looked at it again -- stats are showing the orange "new" for Kim - but it's exactly the same as the last few race logs -- here's hoping it was meant to show her OUT of Rohn

Jan - yes that confused me too. Tangles posted on the Cripple 1 thread and Red lantern thread that she IS still there because the trail has flooded. He's wondering if she'll be allowed to take her 24 there. Boo posted that mushers are 'encouraged' to move on or scratch. Lets hope for some cold weather so she can move on.

She's been withdrawn. Showed up at checkpoint minus two dogs.

Fortunately they were located and being flown back to Anchorage.
