Live Tracking shows Brent with about a 5 mile lead over Hugh, But there is still a ways to go before Dawson. There is money involved in being first into Dawson.

These are the official standings. That means they are official, not that they are correct. Things jump around a lot as people decide to update the standings. This problem is especially bad in the back of the pack, as no one bothers to update those standings when the lead is changing.
The Mushers in bold are former winners of the Yukon Quest, the numbers in parentheses are their Bib numbers, and the small “R” indicates a rookie.
Note: This post will be updated during the day, and the map changed on all posts to reflect the current situation.
All posts on the Yukon Quest can be seen by clicking on the sled dog or selecting “Yukon Quest” from the Category box on the right sidebar.

I’ve enjoyed the live tracker, in spite of the issues – thank you for the link!
nice that it’s free, no registration required, but now all it needs is a live video that you can call up by clicking on each team’s marker – leaddogcam! 😉
The problems are related to the topography and the location on the sled. Pushing a video signal would require a bit more of a directional signal than is currently available. Now, if one of the cell companies wanted to install towers along the route and in the First Nation villages, it would be doable. A thousand miles of fiber across the Arctic – what could go wrong?

not nearly as much as a thousand miles of pipeline . . . . 😈
..Or 18 inches of ½-inch galvanized pipe with a hose bibb on the end [damn antique plumbing]…
I’ve had fiber buried across the street for years and it still hasn’t polluted the bayou.
OT: The thunderstorms finally passed. The word is that Louisiana around the Big Easy got nailed by tornadoes.
