Idette and I are sitting in the airport waiting to board our flight, while Stacy and Diane are planning to fly in a small airplane to one of the first checkpoints at Finger Lake tomorrow, and Nancy is somewhere under the stars with her dogs! She was calm and ready to go today and the dogs were so excited! Little did they know that their run is going to be over 1000 miles!
I packed my camera cord into my checked luggage so I will not be able to put pictures from today onto this blog until tomorrow when I'm back in North Dakota. I hope that you have enjoyed keeping up with our adventure as much as we've had fun telling you about it!
I keep thinking of all the challenges that Nancy will be facing. Nancy (and all mushers) have packed and dropped food/supplies at all the checkpoints along the trail. Today she heard that ravens had eaten the food at one of the checkpoints, so that is being sent up tomorrow.
I look forward to having Nancy safely run this race and hearing her stories. I am looking forward to seeing my family, friends, and South Middle School staff and students.
