Seven sled dogs wearing harnesses and booties arrive at a checkpoint along the Iditarod trail

A man in a green parka and red hat grab something out of a bag labeled “Redington” beside six sled dogs in harnesses. A man with a large video camera documents the event.

A man in a green parka and red hat signs something on a clipboard held by another man in a high visibility vest.

One team of sled dogs moves away from the camera. Another team is cozy and lying down on a bed of straw.

Ryan is in and looks like he’s gonna head back out! His pups look like they’re ready to keep going!

I will be following (in bib order) #NicPetit, #RyanRedington, #QuinceMountain, #JustinOlnes, and #EmilyFord as they head down the trail to Nome.

They’re the mushers that will get the most attention from me, but I’ll def be posting about others as I can.
