LATE BREAKING NEWS FROM THE TRAIL: Doug Swingley of Lincoln, Mt scratched at Rainy Pass due to injuries. He dislocated his thumb and possibly fractured some ribs and was concerned he would be unable to care for his team on the trail. What a heartbreak!!! It takes about $21,000 dollars to prepare to run the Iditarod, what a disappointment to have to scratch so early!!!! I don't know about you but my heart goes out to Doug-he is a four time Iditarod Champion.
