9 March 2007 - Fourth day of Iditarod in McGrath

Today we waited for the last of the mushers to arrive. Heather Siirtola and Ellen Halverson arrived about the same time since they had been traveling together. Then there was only one team to come in. We waited and waited and then got a phone call from here in town. "I have a dog team in my front yard without a musher." The snowmobiles went out again and found Eric Rogers about 2 miles up the river. When they brought Eric in, they said the dogs were standing in the man's drive way in perfect formation.

Since I am going out of town for more than a week, this and the final Iditarod report will have to remain until I return.
