Monday before the Mushers Arrive March the 14th

What an amazing day again! It was a day of work at the front desk of the mini answering phones and talking to arriving handlers and vets from all the different teams, taking a security class, preparing to work at the dog lot and learning about the dropped dogs and taking care of them there. We also made the craft show, it was awesome-and Deb and I with a set of parkas from a wonderful sewer! Phew! It was a super experience enjoying local artists.

Here is Deb,me, and Lillian at the front desk after about 5 hours. We look pretty professional huh? We expect to be busy tomorrow. And we'll be probably at the dog lot in future days.

The mushers John Baker and Raymey Smyth are neck in neck at White Mountain taking their mandatory 8 hour rest-and we expect them in the chute tomorrow morning in Nome. Angie Taggart is making great progress and is at Eagle Island. We can't wait to see all those athletes...canine and human!
