You probably passed, or were passed, by a number of teams. Jeff King, a favorite and first musher out of the chute probably had an uneventful and quiet sojourn, interrupted only by raucous snowmobilers who picnic alongside the trail. He probably was invited to have a coffee or beer about twenty times in the first hour. A fired up dog team really covers the ground. Back to business on arrival to Yentna station.
Most mushers plan on spending at least a couple of hours here resting.
Some will match the hours of travelling with hours of rest. The important thing is that the dogs are shut down and allowed to cool down. It pays to be prudent. Food is provided from coolers carried in the sled. It's a very good omen if the dogs eat well, then lay down to rest, even if they don't sleep.
