And they're into the home stretch!

Lance Mackey pulled into White Mountain (mandatory 8 hour rest) last night at 20:43 AKDT (that's 43 minutes after midnight EDT). Hans Gatt arrived at 22:40, nearly two hours later. Mackey will have a two hour head start this morning as he makes the last 70 mile run to Nome.

Could be a close finish as Mackey tries for an unprecedented 4-pete.

And I have a full schedule today, dang it!

AAA safety course this morning runs until 1 this afternoon and then a Photoshop Elements workshop this evening just as the lead mushers pull into Nome.

Still 57 mushers and their teams on the trail. No new scratches during the night.
