What an evening it has been. To be able to virtually watch, in real time, the team going up and over Eagle Summit is quite something. There is always a sigh of relief once they are heading down the other side. Thanks to the team at Trackleaders for the technology!

Aliy and I watched the team go over from the lounge at home, along with ChaCha, Bullet, Tig, Ranger, Tina, Charlet and Rambler. Meghan, Mark, Bridgett and Scotty were waiting it out at Mile 101 checkpoint.

The Black Team arrived in Mile 101 at 10.26pm and stayed just a few minutes for Allen to get supplies from his drop bags and snack both himself and his team. They left Mile 101 in first position with 13 dogs. They are now on the trail towards Two Rivers where they have a mandatory eight hour stop. This next section of trail goes up and over Rosebud Mountain. For more information about the trail ahead (and indeed, the trail behind) check out the Yukon Quest Mushers' Guide to the trail.
We have a long night of tracker watching ahead of us!
