[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 365302, member: 1351"] Update : Wade Marrs is on mile 365(via gps). Looks like Jessie Holmes, Brent Sass and Aaron Peck are in resting mode in Ophir checkpoint. It appears there are a number of mushers resting in earlier checkpoints of Nikolai(mile 263), McGrath(mile 311) and Takotna(mile 329). It sounds like it has been warm so THINK some mushers are taking their mandatory 24 hr rest in one of these checkpoints in hopes of colder weather.....ie..most train in zero or below temps so these 20-30 degree temps above zero arent what they or there dogs are used to so waiting for colder temps or nightfall( kinda like hunting our dogs in 30 degrees more than normal).
