After a quick stop in Nikolai, we spent the night in Takotna at the Takotna School. Jeff went to bed early and got up before sunrise to photograph incoming mushers and teams as snow fell on the town. There are about 29 teams resting here, most taking their mandatory 24 hour break. Aaron Burmeister was the first into Takotna, rolling in at about 8:48 PM. Due to the weather, we may be here another night .
