Got the photos up (mostly, I have the laptop uploading while I'm at work so don't know if all made it up or if I'll have to go back and add a few). #Iditarod54 #MusherSky #SledDogs #DogMushing #DogSports #Photography #Alaska

Happy Easter #UglyDogs while I was sleeping, Jessie Holmes won the Kobuk 440 (I think this is his 5th but 4th in a row). Kevin Hansen was right behind him and put up a great effort to beat Jessie. Larry Daugherty is leading Kristy Berington and Sam McClain and Calvin Daugherty, #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
Congratulations to Jessie Holmes for winning the Kobuk 440 yet again!! Looks like Kevin Hanson gave him a bit of a run for his money but Jessie and his team made it back to Kotzebue first! #mushersky

Jes-sie Jes-sie Jes-sie! #Kobuk440 #MusherSky
Jessie Holmes & Kevin Hansen are in Kiana. Calvin Daugherty is a little over 6 miles out. Farther back are Larry Daugherty, Kristy Berington, & Adam McClain. Virag Racz is just outside of Ambler 2. Annette Llanes is still in Ambler2, & Jennifer Nelson is on her way to Ambler 2. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
Please Larry never change. 🤣 #LostBoy #MusherSky #Kobuk440 (ok he hasnt gotten lost but losing stuff counts in my book.)
Here's another! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky

This is happening with Virag. I checked earlier this morning and she was in Kobuk, and she is on her way to Ambler 2, and her mileage is going backward. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky #Aliens
Here's a Kobuk 440 post from Insta for those who have it. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky

Since mushing season is wrapping up with the #Kobuk440, I'm watching Cold Heart of a Killer! #MusherSky youtu.be/ebm8eUm4Qw0?...
The general #MusherSky rule is to blame allllll tracky boi shenanigans on aliens.
The Klondike Dog Derby Board of Directors issued a statement today, they announced the Race's Retirement. #MusherSky
They cite not being able to run the race safely consistently - the last three races had to be canceled.
You can read the full statement on their website:
FYI in addition to Jody, Jessi Downey has also scratched. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
Why does this matter to you?
Well #mushersky the amazing board members that keep the leaderboard going are participating in the sprint dog races so you’ll notice around 11:30-2:00 today, tomorrow, and Sunday, those updates will be delayed.

#uglydogs #mushersky @blairbraverman.bsky.social LOOOOOKIE what I got today!!!! Dora is chaos. Dora is Love #uglydogs for EVER
If you’re on Facebook, Mille Porsild is posting info on the race as well as the community’s where the race goes through. Super interesting information that I, who grew up in Alaska, didn’t know. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky #Selawik #Sheefish

Looks like Jody Potts-Joseph has scratched in the Kobuk 440. No more dog bells. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky

Looks like the party is at the Selawik checkpoint. And in case you're wondering just how much inland water is in this area of Alaska ... it's A LOT! #MusherSky #UglyDogs #Kobuk440
Behind them is Larry Daugherty, Annette Llanes, and Jennifer Nelson. Virag Racz is currently resting in Noorvik. #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
The kids in Selawik made posters for the mushers. www.facebook.com/share/p/18Hk...
Thursday night checkin #Kobuk440 almost everyone has gone through Noorvik & is headed to Selawik. The trail must be wicked fast! Jessie H is leading followed by Kevin Hansen. Farther back are Sam McClain and Kristy Berington. Next are Calvin Daugherty, Jessi Downey, and Jody Potts-Joseph. #Mushersky
Emily Robinson is featured in the latest volume of Alaska Magazine. Talks about growing up Alaska, racing dogs, and what her future holds. #MusherSky
Gotta go hunt a copy down, now. Only other one I have from the last few years has a booger on it.
Jody Potts-Joseph forgot her dog blankets in her truck in Fairbanks so she is using the beautiful specially made dog blankets as her mandatory gear. It’s very warm right now so not sure if they’ll need them. She has a Revna on her team! #Kobuk440 #Mushersky
