Post from Windy Pups site: Aliy into Takotna

Aliy thru McGrath, into Takotna
Aliy has 14 dogs into Takotna at 2:34. Zack Steer was in lead position into Ophir. Aliy is in position 7 at the moment. Mackey rested 5 hours + in Takotna.Takotna is a popular place for teams to take their 24's (mandatory 24 hour rest stop). There is a small lodge that serves great food for the mushers , checkers, pilots , spectators... great moose stew, as I recall. There are some nice quiet places to bed down dogs and the mushers can sleep on the floor of the church.School children are given the day off and villagers keep a huge boiling pot of water for the mushers, making it a bit easier on all.
