Don Bowers 200 | Don Bowers 300

A view from one end of the trail, by Joe May—

56% scratch rate. Must be a record of sorts considering that the trail was generally good. I parsed it for causes and non-causes:

• Several undertrained teams.
• Several physically ill mushers.
• Several mushers with damaged or hurting human body parts.
• Several teams using the race as a training run or a yearling test.
• Several mushers clearly over their head in the experience and expectation department. That’s what qualifiers are for.

All of the teams coming into this checkpoint looked good. Particularly notable were the 300 milers who finished their race here.
