More from the Iditarod Trail

Mitch Seavey may have been the first into Ruby, but he will have to wait to enjoy his earned reward of a multi-course gourmet dinner. Apparently the Millenium Hotel, chose not to serve the meal on site, but to present it in Anchorage at a time of the musher’s choice.

Seavey, by the way is still in Ruby doing his mandatory 8 hour rest on the Yukon River.

Aliy Zerkle is ell ahead of him and the rest of the pack. She's currently some 30 miles down river heading to the next checkpoint of Galena. She will have to take her 8 hour rest either there or at Nulato or Kaltag where the trail leaves the river. She's probably hoping to build a large enough lead to remain ahead of Seavey and the rest.
