Victoria Hardwick has arrived in Nome and is the recipient of the Red Lantern Award. With that, #Iditarod2019 is over, and #Igivearod2019 comes to an end. #UglyDogs
Looking at things from the big picture, I hope that @IditarodInsider and #Iditarod2019 organizers recognize how invigorating #uglydogs are to the race, and are an investment in the future. More importantly, more interest = more money from sponsors in the long run.
The #Iditarod2019 leaders are out of Rainy Pass (mile 153)! Next up us the Dalzell Gorge, which is frankly terrifying. Here's video from 2014 where Jeff King, a veteran musher who's won the race 4 times, showing how difficult & dangerous the gorge can be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAHa-6VkUQY
