Lance Mackey/Jeff King approaching Candle

2:00pm – Word is just coming in from the Candle checkpoint, the weather is looking pretty good, its 4 above zero, and the skies are clear. They are awaiting the first musher at the halfway point, and it appears via airplane report that the first musher to reach the checkpoint will be Lance Mackey…..but then another plane said it could be King, so we will see!
Other interesting information: details are still coming out on Hugh Neff’s withdraw, Mitch Seavey’s support team had some trouble earlier, 3 miles north of Haven and ended up breaking a sled.
