Brent Sass hasn’t seen another musher for hundreds of miles, a pretty good sign when you’re leading the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
Sass was nearing the checkpoint in White Mountain on Monday. White Mountain is where mushers must take a mandatory eight-hour layover before making the final 77-mile (124-kilometer) push along Alaska’s western coastline and the Bering Sea ice to the finish line in Nome.
