15 Early Afternoon Mushing Report for the Iditarod from the Alaskanpoet
Joar
Ulson has become the 6th musher to cross the finish line in Nome so
there are still 67 mushers on the trail probably wishing they were somewhere
else. Jeff King, formerly in the top five but who lost his dog Nash due to a
DUI snowmachiner is in 9th out of Safety, 22 mile from Nome and
should be crossing the finish line soon; Robert Sass previously in the top 5 is
in 10th out of White Mountain 77 miles outside of Nome; and Robert
Sorlie previously in the top 5 is in 15th place out of White Mountain which also has 6 mushers
that have not left. Here are the mushers still on the course

Out of the race:12 mushers. It is called the Last Great
Race on Earth, but look at the distances between the mushers and the number of mushers
in a checkpoint, I think a better name would be the Loneliest Great Race on
Earth unless a musher could understand and communicate in canine barks. Hope you
have enjoyed these mushing reports—I will check periodically and update
Until Ms. Halverson, out of Galena some 430 miles
to Nome crosses the finish line to claim the Red Lantern. Can you even begin to
imagine how tired she will be when she crosses the finish line some ten plus
days hence. True testament to the spirit of human beings who when faced with
physical tests of endurance will not quit.
