March
9, 2016 Mush Report On the Iditarod from the Alaskanpoet
Dallas
Seavey is in the lead out of Ophir 352 miles from the start with a three and
one half hour lead over Neil Burmeister with
JJohn
Baker, Robert Sorlie and Jeff King rounding out the top five. The fastest
female multi runner up, Aily Zirkle is
in Takotna
14
miles behind and DeeDee Jonrowe at age 62 is in Nikolai 265 miles from the
start. Larry Daughhert, a rookie and in last place
Is
in Rohn 188 miles from the start with great scenery but no population, only a
checkpoint. Four racers to the dismay of their dogs
who
love to mush have dropped out. When it comes to being cold, miserable and tired
assuming your eyes are not frosted
over, Alaska scenery cannot
be beat as this photo of the Rohn checkpoint proves.
