ID: Tuesday Morning - Elim and Old Woman Cabin

At 6.10am the Red Team pulled into Elim in fifth position! We are unsure how long she will stay there as she is running and resting as much as the team needs at this point.

At the time of writing there are no written or video updates about the run to Elim checkpoint by the front runners so I don't have much to tell you, but I'm sure they will be up soon so we can update you.

Allen, the Black Team and their running mates Chuck, Yvonne and Rick appear to be at Old Woman Cabin another of the BLM cabins between Kaltag and Unalakleet. I found this image (right) from google so if it's not the actual cabin, it will look something like this!

They are about 35 miles from Unalakleet. We see this from time to time, groups of mushers travelling together for a section of trail enjoying their dogs and each others company. This is also especially true if there is any kind of weather event as it is safer to travel in groups as they can support and help each other if needed.

The weather forecast for the Unalakleet area is for warm 32F with some snow showers - this fresh snow will make the trails slow and you might find teams travelling together will share the trail breaking duties.
