Larry and a bunch of other mushers, missed a turn less than 4 miles into the race due to an angry snowmobiler taking the turn sign out. So, he and others took a scenic detour for a few miles. Then had to turn around in very soft trail and head on pass all the other teams that also took the wrong trail on a trail one sled width wide, with waist deep snow off the sides of that tiny trail. Lots of helping others happened out there between teams. Larry eventually got on the right trail and used it as a training run for our B team. All 8 looked great at the finish, despite having run at least 45 miles, instead of 42 in that sloggy mess. Very proud of the leaders for all they had to go through with all the tight passing and Roxy got bit by an alligator on another team he was passing. She was afraid to pass for most of the run after that.
