We have been writing in our musher journals each day telling all about what is happening to our musher out on the Iditarod Trail. The students are so excited when I pass out the updates each day. I will be posting some of the journal entries. Here is Danielle's journal entry:
March 12, 2009
Yesterday, we checked in at Nikolai at 18:08, 0r 6:08, and stayed eight hours and fourteen minutes. While we were there, I decided to change the team arrangements a bit. Stamp and Montana, the swing dogs, weren't working well together, so I switched Stamp with Oatmeal, one of the team dogs. Today we left at 2:22 and now we have been on the trail for eighteen hours and 19 minutes. We are traveling at 4.09 m.p.h. and I still have 16 dogs. We are on our way to McGrath, 54 miles from Nikolai. We moved back one place in the race and now we are in 58th place. I hope we move up farther in the race by at least 4 places by tomorrow. It is cold out here, but not cold enough to make me scratch.
