Nun wenn ich richtig gelesen habe so dürfte Telpin doch einige Erfahrung besitzen auf dem Trail aber wie ihr schon bemerktet sieht es doch so aus als ob er mit den Spitzenteams nicht ganz mithalten kann? Aber schaun wir mal wies in Dawson aussieht? gespeichert

Von Sab Schnuelle:
Update from Central. Many mushers have left and hanging out in the so called back of the pack has ist own flair. There is a different feeling in the air. Not the exuberance of the front teams. People are talking about scratching, coming into the checkpoint very demoralized.... shell shocked from their experience of going down Eagle Summit. Than there is some cases of real heartbreak. Mushers and handlers walking around with tears in their eyes. Mike Ellis is sitting on next table, his arm in a sling, while his dogs are sitting in the dog truck. That for sure war not plan A. After putting a full year into training his team, while his wife Sue is holding the fort down at home and assisting in any way possible. Now.... one little wipe out, and a whole dream is in pieces. But the lifestyle is still intact. People like Sue and Mike, live and breathe their dogs. Ist not only the race which counts, they enjoy the lifestyle, the privilege of working with those beautiful dogs. The race is just the icing on the cake. Instead of dwelling on the mishap, Mike is already talking about taking his truck to Dawson, just to see friends, and still be part of this great event. On another table is Misha Peterson. Heartbroken, still missing one of her dogs, which has been seen up and down the trail between Mile 101 and Central. For any animal rights people crying now...., put it in perspective, house dogs turn loose to... its not a big deal and they will be reunited soon. But for Misha this means most likely to be out of the race. Another full year of training might be coming to a premature end. In this case, it´s hitting very close to home for me as Bonnie and Jim, who own the team are good friends of mine. It reminds me on my 1999 Quest attempt, where things were looking bleak in Central, and led me to ultimately scratch in Circle. Scratching is a very emotional thing. At the time I felt left out, left behing. All my friends where heading down the trail. Each checkpoint has a very distinct feel, once the mushers are gone. The high flying vibe is gone. It´s very quite all for sudden. People are busy with cleanup. But no more energetic dogs lunging and screaming to go. An than…. A few minutes later. Somebody coming in the checkpoint screaming: THEY GOT THE DOG. And not only did they get the dog, another Musher, Ed Abrahamson, a Quest 300 musher got the do. He came into the checkpoint with the dog, named Riot , in the team. BEST case scenario….., no outside assistance, no help! And Misha should be good to go and continue. Ed had quite the story to tell, with himk driving a nice team of 11 big males.... And what do 11 big males do, when they see a female. They go chase..... and the chase was on, off the trail, on the trail, trying to get Riot.... All ends well in this case.... Misha just put Riot back in her team.... With Doug Grilliot, the Quest 300 race marshall having arrived in Central, I can soon hop on the snogo toward Circle.

Peter und seine Mile101 Crew werden mal wieder im Fairbanks News Miner erwaehnt:
Mile 101 longevity
Mile 101 seems like a lonely place for a checkpoint, but that hasn’t kept a handful of volunteers from returning for 10-plus years.
Checkpoint manager Peter Kamper has spent 16 years working the area that consists of a few unadorned cabins.
Kamper said the hardest part in setting up the checkpoint is making sure the electricity works. Three cabins are powered by three generators connected to the cabins by a slew of extension cords. One of the generators quit Sunday morning.
Kamper and the other volunteers do their best to keep the area homey. They’ve added sheetrock and insulation to two of the cabins in the last decade and they have quirky decorations. A small Christmas tree, complete with lights, was strung up next to the musher check in area, with a couch parked beside it.
“It takes longer to set (the checkpoint up) than it takes the mushers to use it,” Kamper said.
“You kind of get addicted to it somehow,” he said.
