And a few out of sequence pre Big Piney Interviews Sebastian Schnuelle
Posted at 4:42 pmSomehow I get the feeling that I did not get the coolest job this time around being; stuck on Yukon Island. I mean it is fun to be involved remotely. But I have been missing out on M&M’s galore. Never mind the concession trailer for lunch, then the Dutch oven desserts in Kemmerer. Now I… Read more »
JR Anderson on Big Piney Stage Sebastian Schnuelle
Posted at 4:16 pmJR Anderson has definitely made a reputation for himself, of mastering very steady runs. His split times are usually near perfect.

Posted at 12:30 pmTalking with Ed Stielstra and Laura Neese before the race, they revealed that they are both driving young teams.

Pre Stage Interview in Big Piney with Ben Barrett Sebastian Schnuelle
Posted at 11:52 amEach Stage has a different feel for the mushers. As rookie, even after talking to veteran mushers, you only have a limited idea of what to expect. Much different once you are veteran. Talking to Lina Streeper last year, she had some reservations about the Driggs Stage, as in the prior year, she had gotten… Read more »
