For all you Facebook holdouts out there, here are  few updates that haven't yet appeared on this blog: the Bogus Creek 150 is over. I know, feels like it only started yesterday, doesn't it? Congratulations to Lewis Pavila and Bad River Kennels out of Kwethluk for their 2013 victory. The Akiak Dash started this afternoon and is dashing into Akiak around now, according to the updates on the radio by KYUK's Shane Iverson. Randy Nose of Akiachak is currently leading the pack. Good to have Shane back on trail coverage. It has officially warmed up considerably out on the trail, but the wind has picked up and some snow has been falling. Much of the region is under a blizzard warning. Mushers out on the trail may encounter whiteouts and snowdrifts on the trail, though the snow seems to have abated for now.

The K-300 leaders are out of Aniak into the Whitefish Lake loop with Rohn Buser and Jeff King leading the pack. Local musher Pete Kaiser has been moving up and is currently around 5th or 6th place, not far in front of other local favorites Mike Williams, Jr. and Richie Diehl. Kaiser's website, www.kaiserracing.com, has been providing some phenomenal race coverage. Make sure you check it out.    --Ben Kuntz
