Iditarod teams started pulling into the Finger Lake checkpoint early Monday, in temperatures that hovered between zero and 10 degrees. First in was Paige Drobny of Cantwell, at 4:41 a.m.
“Hobo Jim’s been playing non-stop,” Sass said while loading a bale of straw in his sled. “First Iditarod without having him around — it’s kind of sad for sure, but we got his music, so that’s really nice.”
The next three mushers into Finger Lake were Jessie Holmes, three-time Iditarod champion Mitch Seavey and his son, five-time champ Dallas Seavey. They pulled in back-to-back-to-back at around 5:30 a.m. Holmes quickly dashed out of the checkpoint, while the Seaveys chose to stop for a few hours. Spectators were sparse for the first few mushers, but as the sun rose, guests at the lodge came down to watch the dog teams.
