17. Other comments:
We also had a group of CAP Cadets from Eielson AFB
assisting in comms between the staging point and the
Comm Center. We had 10 teams with mushers from 14 to 17
yuears old. The Comm center operated on a 24 hr basis
because of timing changes in the race this year. We had
an amateur on a snow machine leading the race
to move moose off the trail and another following the last
team. Operators at the Comm Center also manned the Race
Update phone line.
