YQ: Fourteen Dog Night

We sent Allen, Quito and Scout, Izzy and Chica, Schmoe and Sissy, Mac and Waylon, Outlaw and Chemo, Nacho and Scooter, and Willie and Clyde into the night, right on time at 9.18pm. They all looked happy and healthy and were excited to head down the trail.

Phew - we are happy to get them off safely but looking forward to seeing them again in Circle - some 225-odd miles from Dawson. The teams have a compulsory stop in Eagle but in the winter, it is not on the road system so the next time we can catch up with them is Circle City.

We're going to sleep now. Will tear down camp in the morning then start the trek back to Two Rivers where we will deploy a handler team up to Circle.
