Iditarod teams banked rest in Takotna. Bridgett Watkins says she slept 16 of the past 24 hours. “I make it my priority,” she said. “I didn’t sit and chitchat or dilly-dally. I just took care of dogs, went back to sleep. Ate, went right back to sleep.”
Bridgett Watkins relaxes at the Takotna checkpoint on Thursday toward the end of her 24-hour rest.
“I make it my priority,” she said. “I didn’t sit and chitchat or dilly-dally. I just took care of dogs, went back to sleep. Ate, went right back to sleep.” Ramey Smyth said a recent cold that clogged his ears meant he didn’t have to worry too much about being awakened by other mushers snoring. Plus, he said, musher John Baker, who he said was a loud snorer, isn’t in the field this year.
Based on the tables filled with hamburgers, salmon, cakes and pies, it has all worked out, she said. Musher Eric Kelly, getting ready to leave after his 24-hour rest, agreed. He tested out a variety of pies. Eric Kelly chats with Iditarod veteran Bruce Lee about the upcoming section of trail on the southern route, which Kelly has never completed.
