Looks like Aliy might be moving out of Rohn, but will recheck. Shows her at Mile 165 at 1MPH.
Others at 165 are at 0 mph, but Jessie Royer is at 10mph, so she must be moving out. Wonder if just jiggling the sled while feeding, etc. will show the 1mph or if Aliy is actually moving? Backen and King and Seavey are further out (as may be others). Per Kaz at SPdoglog, watch the elevations and the slower speeds can be uphill climbs, where the faster speeds are descents (or fast trails).
Per Aliy's website, Allen dropped a female dog for mild dehydration. Those temps have been warm for cold weather dogs. Good to hear that some of the tougher sections (into Finger Lake) have more snow this year and sounds like Rainy Pass is not the nightmare it was last year.
