Aliy has just gone through Grayling on her way to Eagle Island. She left Anvik will all 11 dogs. As of this point, the standings aren't showing her in Grayling, so we don't know if she dropped any dogs there. We have heard that the dog she dropped in Iditarod yesterday was Butterscotch, but we don't know for sure.
If I were to guess, I would say that she will rest on the trail to Eagle Island and go through E.I. check point. Eagle Island is a set of tents and pits carved out of the snow and ice in the middle of the Yukon River. There is not, and has never been a town or camp at this spot. There are few amenities there that would entice a musher to stay.
Allen is currently doing his 8 hour mandatory rest at Shageluk. He arrived there at 3:50 pm, so he will be back on the trail at 11:50 pm. He is having a wonderful race!
