Peter Reuter and the B Team were out of Tulksak this morning at just after 6:30. This will put them into the Finish Line at just before Lunch. Weather conditions had something to do with the decision to make the run in daylight at least in the lower end of the trail. We will all be ther to cheer Peter and the young team across the line and take home the 2014 Red Lantern.
Currently it is 37 degrees unbelievably in January! Winds are 15mph from the East Southeast at 15. Visibility is good.
