Headquarters still busy with tasks all night but few visitors after 1 am.  Unofficial  Bogus Creek K300 check in shows Rohn Buser, Mike Williams Jr and Joar Ulsom through there around 0120 - 0138.   Per the unofficial GPS trackers - 1st K300 mushers - about 8 miles out from Kalskag.

Bogus Creek mushers are on their 4 hour rest.  Thanks so much to the Bogus Creek checkers up there - it is a chilly night and starting a fire has been challenging.

Looks to be perhaps a record setting pace - we will have to see how the next 24 hours goes.

K300 is always such a time of excitement for the Delta.  Lots of volunteers pulling together - host families cooking up delicious dishes for their mushers and caring for their dropped dogs.  Kind supporters drop off bags of awesome cookies and casseroles at all the checkpoints and headquarters.  Jesuit Volunteers and lots of other villagers care for dropped dogs and cheer on the mushers as they race through checkpoints. Lots of hard work go into this race - by the mushers and dogs as well as the planners and volunteers of the K300.  It is great to see the YK Delta come together to support the dog mushing community.

We encourage you all to participate and support the races!! Come cheer for the Akiak Dash tomorrow at 2:00 pm on the Bethel river front.  Watch all 12 Akiak Dashers start at once - Definitely a photo opportunity.

Stay warm and sleep well those of you who can - Kalskag Checkers are just getting ready to check the first K300 musher through in the next hour.
