Dogs napped, mushers napped and sled repairs got underway in Nikolai yesterday. It was another warm-for-winter day on the Iditarod trail.
Mille Porsild lies in the straw next to her dog team on a sunny and warm Tuesday in Nikolai.
“There was some bare ground, some glaciated sections, a lot hillier than I expected and kinda mogul-ey, but a nice hard trail the whole way in,” he said. Brent Sass arrives in Nikolai around 8:30 a.m. Sass was the first to depart, but said he had a challenging run from Rohn. He had to carry his dog Marty for 60 miles.
Dan Kaduce approaches Nikolai. Kaduce arrived with two dogs in his sled, which he left with veterinarians. He said the run from Rohn was one of the hardest he’d had in a decade. Kelly Maixner signs autographs for local school children, who came down to the dog yard for a field trip.
