Yesterday, several hours after Jeff and KattiJo left White Mountain they were caught in a ground blizzard with Sebastien De Santos Borges just 4 miles short of the Nome Kennel Club shelter cabin. With wind gusting at 60-70+ mph, they were stuck in place. They were able to dig into a hillside and seek some level of shelter for them and their dogs. After being stuck in place for hours, White Mountain Search and Rescue located the group to do a welfare check. All three mushers opted to accept outside assistance for the safety of themselves and their teams. The search and rescue crew was able to assist the three mushers to the Nome Kennel Club shelter cabin, where Riley Dyche had been hunkered down for nearly 12 hours. They arrived at the shelter cabin around 5:30pm, where they would be able to huddle around the wood stove, dry their gear and warm up. Reports from the trail say Riley, Sebastien, Jeff and KattiJo all brought all their dogs (30 ish dogs) in the little 12’x12’ cabin for the night and had a dog party.
