Newyon Update at the CB300-Contributed by Susie

SATURDAY JANUARY 10, 2009 8PM
It's 8 p.m. Yukon time. Newton is into Glen Allen, the second check point and is holding his own in the middle of the pack. Hans has left him behind and is closer to the front. Another musher scratched so the field is down to 21 from 35 sign ups, and 32 registered (ie, 32 showed up to start the race). Eight mushers are still on the trail from Tolsona, on their way to Glen Allen, and nobody has left the Glen Allen checkpoint there. The temperature is -24 F, which is pretty good. About -32 C. Susie
