I arrived in Unalakleet late this afternoon. It was a trick getting out of McGrath and connecting. Flights were late though so that helped. I almost missed my flight 'cause I forgot about the ridiculous daylight savings thing. Not sure who thought that up for Alaska!
Saw Jeff and Lance leave here; both teams looked good; I thought Jeff's was a bit better. Lance has anoisy crew; Jeff's is more solid. Just after they left; 16 teams pulled in within a 4 hour period. They all looked good. If I am to guess--Swenson and Gatt look real good; I'd say that either of them has a shot at pulling off 2nd.
Zoya is in Nulato; she is running fast and resting lots. Dogs are doing good; She will move steadily from here on, I hope. She dropped Bligh with a sore tricep, and Motta. Motta wasn't eating real well--likely heat related. I also had word that she may have been a bit sore in the front end? The weather remains good at this point--it is very warm; plus 15 or so. the wind is picking up in Shaktoolik; 26 mph. It must be moving a little snow, though that hasn't been mentioned.
