PDW: Final Leg To Dawson

The Red & Blacks have pulled into Fortymile on their return journey and according to the tracker they are continuing on through to Dawson. As I write this they have about 48 miles to go to the finish!

With the trackers not updating for a few of the racers around them it is going to be difficult to know who is where in the final stages so keep an eye also on the Percy's Facebook Page and the Race Updates page. It's going to be an exciting finish!

Around the time the team left Eagle I got up and looked out the window (mainly to try to quiet a puppy barking as some shadows!) and noticed a spectacular aurora show so I checked the UAF Geophysical Institute's Aurora Forecast page to see if it was happening over in the Yukon too. It's likely they had the same show overhead so it must have been stunning to mush down the Yukon River with nine dogs stretched out in front and the lights above.
