FRIDAY 9:00 PM BREAKING NEWS :
Race start postponed again due to weather delays. There will be no dog races tomorrow. K300 and Bogus Race Musher Meeting 10:00 am tomorrow at the Headquarters - Long House. Lunch will be provided for the Mushers tomorrow at the meeting. Akiak Dash at this time is also postponed - possibly Sunday or Monday. Keep checking the website for the latest updates.
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (as of 4:30pm Friday afternoon)
Fiddle Dance, Cultural Center, Friday 8 pm (new time)
Kuskokwim 300 Start- postponed
Bogus 150 Start - postponed
Akiak Dash Start - postponed
Fireworks Show, Saturday 7 pm - Still on at this point
Fiddle Dance, Cultural Center, Saturday 9 pm (new time)
Look at the Trail Report to see the latest River conditions - very wet. The Pike Lake Loop has been eliminated from the race trail for the K300 Race.
The fireworks show will happen on Saturday night at 7 pm. The fiddle dances will continue as scheduled on Friday and Saturday nights.
One late rule change was made at the request of several mushers. The rules now prevent a dog driver from using any device which could intimidate a following team when that team is within 50 feet. This rule was based on mushers who reported difficulty passing teams which were using ski poles or other implements in a manner that discouraged the following team from passing.

I'm sure mushers in the valley are getting nervous right now. Have lost almost all of the snow out of the yard and the surrounding forest.

I get to take pictures of the start! It starts at noon tomorrow on the freshly frozen river. It looks like it'll be pretty much glare ice the first hundred or so miles.

Ski poles make a high pitch noise that scares the team out back that probably aren't used to hearing the noise.

I guess now we know the answer to the original question... Yes, it's back.
It may be time for a new thread...
"Will the Bethel have it's unsightly wart removed by the Justice system?"
