The
mushers continue to pour into Nome with 16 having crossed the finish line
looking forward to a hot meal and a warm bed after more than a week of mushing
in the Alaskan wilderness. Five have left the last checkpoint before Nome
Safety, 22 miles from Nome and its balmy 6 degrees falling to an estimated -9
degrees. Nine have left White Mountain (77 miles to go to Nome) and 5 have
entered but have not left Elim yet including Martin Buser who is in 31st
Place and he remains in 31st place all mushers who finish after him
will receive the same $1049 payment if they finish. Cindy Abbott is no longer
in last place and into Unalakleet 261
miles from Nome and pursued by three male rookies. She probably has another 3-4
days on the trail. 6 mushers have scratched.
