Jeff King, John Baker, Hugh Neff and Martin Buser

Jeff  King's team arrived just a loping along with tails up and ready to keep running.

Dave Little loves on one of Hugh's finishers.

John Baker's team comes in at dark

Hugh Neff carried a 'Cat in the Hat' book for a fourth grade class in his sled, along with a 'Flat Hugh' the children drew, to support their "Read Across Alaska" project.

Hugh's sled shows his support for the program

Iditarod Champion and fan favorite - Martin Buser

Martin's dogs are so well trained that he lets them run loose at the finish line.  Here he thanks one of them while sipping on a cup of coffee.

That is so interesting about Buser's dogs being able to run loose at the end. Even if my dogs were trained, I can imagine trying to mentally keep track of 12-16 dogs in a crowd when I am tired and distracted. Buser would be fascinating to watch in that situation.
