Word from the trail is that it is a windy one in Shaktoolik. I’ve been trying to call anyone in Shaktoolik, but no luck yet. If Trackers are correct, teams may be hold out for daylight. This extra break will give Pete and the Team a small advantage by putting their rest aligned with everyone else. Pretty similar to last year when Pete was leading and everyone caught up, in this case everyone has caught up with Dee Dee. The extra break though will make it basically a restart as all of the differentials will have been made up. When this happens it becomes a horse race at the Start, but will filter out as it did during the Official Start in Unalakleet.
I am still trying to get current weather for Shaktoolik. If you are in Shak, give me a call – 545-1999 (Cell)
Go Team Kaiser.
