The mushers started coming in to Unalakleet this morning. Mackey made it in first at 4:30am with King right on his tail. Jeremy went 40 miles upriver to a little cabin to meet Mackey as he went past.
Here is Mackey on the trail stopping at the cabin to "snack" his dogs.
One of Mackey's dogs waiting for a snack.
Here is our friend holding Mackey's sled for him. The duct tape is an old Eskimo secret to preventing frost bite, especially on a snowmachine at -30 without a helmet.
This morning it was cold as we went down to watch the mushers.
Here is King and his lead dogs before he took off this morning.
