#UglyDogs #mushers #musherMastodon

Only one more team is on the trail...

#UglyDogs #mushers #musherMastodon #onlyTheRedLanternRemains

#Iditarod all but two of the teams are now safely into Nome; still on the trail are Jed Stephenson and his 10 dogs with 8 miles to go; and Jason Mackey and his 5 with 16 miles to go. Two dudes, 15 dogs, and 15ish miles ...

so this is a great time to remind ourselves of the importance of the Red Lantern Award

#Iditarod update:

Joanna Jagow's team should be next to finish, they have 22 miles to go. Then Bailey Vitello's team, not long after.

Then there's a gap to Gerhardt Thiart and Bridget Watkins' teams, on the way to Safety with about 55 miles left.

Finally, Jed Stephenson and Jason Mackey have made it to White Mountain - 77 miles to go.

I'm really hoping Jason gets the Red Lantern but when he does I will be a weepy mess.

#UglyDogs #mushers #musherMastodon

#Iditarod only six teams left on the trail: Jagow, Vitello, Thiart, Watkins, Stephenson and Mackey.

Jagow has 77 miles to go, and Mackey has 98.

It won't be long until the Red Lantern arrives in Nome.

#Iditarod Deke Naaktgeboren's team has arrived at Nome and the Berringtons are coming in next! They have 34 miles to go

#UglyDogs #mushers #mushersMastodon

#Iditarod Nic Petit and team arrived in Nome at about 2am local time to earn 17th place in reality (behind KattiJo Deeter*) but 16th place (ahead of her) if you believe the trackibois.

Never believe the trackibois.

They also show Riley Diche still on the trail but I saw his doggos in Nome on the live cam so...

*Apologies to KattiJo for calling her KatieJo in prev. posts.

#Iditarod while I was at work so many good things happened!

Hunter Keefe's team is in Nome!
Dan Kaduce's team is in Nome!
Christian Turner's team is in Nome!
Jessie Royer's team is in Nome!

Aaron Peck's team is only 13 miles out - KatieJo Deeter with 33 miles to go, and then Nic's team is out of White Mountain and on the trail to Nome. If all goes well Nic'll finish in 19th place.

#Iditarod update - overnight the teams of Eddie Burke, Jr., Matt Failor, Mille Porsild and Wade Mars arrived safely in Nome. Huzzah to them! 🎉 🎉 💞 💞

Eddie is (I think) the first rookie to finish this year, so he'll win Rookie of the Year, but imho he should give that prize to Hunter Keefe ...

And Hunter's is the next team in line - currently resting between White Mountain and Safety, 50 miles from Nome.

#Iditarod - now Jessie Holmes is in, Kelly Maixner's team should be arriving at any minute. They ran together for at least part of this last leg, to help each other through the bad weather.

Dangit I had to do work things and I missed Richie Diehl's finish so here's some Richie Diehl content to try to make up for it

#Iditarod Ryan Redington is in Safety - 22 miles to Nome!

As the top 3 teams are on the trail from White Mountain to Safety in the #Iditarod, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves of the Bravermountain mushing #Blowhole incidents of 2018.

#Blowhole is a geographic feature on the trail, and also the name of a dog who was running with the team that year.
