In Dawson waiting for Hugh and Dawgs

Jaime and I arrived in Dawson at about 3:30 a.m. today (Wednesday). We've driven well over 1,000 miles since Saturdays's start. Dawson marks a time of excitement and rest. Right now I'm waiting for the team to come in. The tracker is showing that Hugh's in the lead. When he gets in he'll take the team across the Yukon where we set up the Dawgy Hotel. The dogs will be fed every 4-5 hours. The vets will give them a good check over. They will get massages and plenty of rest on their straw beds. Hugh will get rest, but spend lots of time caring for the dogs as well. Handlers help with chores, including camping in the tent and keeping an eye on things.
