Pete’s Tracker isn’t working at this point. It last updated over 5 hours ago.
The Kaiser Team left Kaltag at 8:11pm last light closely followed by another musher Thomas Lesatz at 8:12pm. Lesatz GPS is working and shows him at the Old Woman cabin, a BLM public use cabin on the trail about 37 miles from Unalakleet.(I looked up the coordinates and Lesatz location matches exactly)
If Pete is following his rest/run schedule, he could be resting there as well. If he left at 8:12pm and made the run to Old Woman in 5 or 6 hours, he would have gotten into the rest stop at about 2:30 for a 4 or 5 hour rest. So that would put him into Unalakleet by mid morning or lunch time.
Now this is just speculation because the darn GPS isn’t reporting…..
Mike Williams Jr. on the other hand made the trip in just under 12 hours. Mike Jr. has been posting a bit faster times over the course of the race and is his trip to Unalakleet was one of the faster times of all of the mushers on that section.
I will keep you posted.
At the front of the pack, Lance Mackey has widened his lead, so maybe it isn’t going to be as close as I thought, but it is NOT over yet to be sure! The race has been lost more than once far later in the race!!
