13th place, the 2026 red lantern, Quince Mountain. (I do not know the dogs' names but I tried to get a few closeups and different angles for people who would recognize them.)

11th place, bib #1 Amy Dionne. The men who were directing had wandered off; I didn't realize until she called up to us asking if she was turning. Her dogs turned on a DIME.

Tenth place, bib #18 Emily Ford. She had borrowed two dogs from Erin Altemus for this race. She said she was very happy with how well the team did especially with the warm weather.

7th place, bib #17 Brian Kandler. In the first photo the musher standing up is #5 Nathan Schroeder right behind him, you can see Brian crouching down just below Nathan's right elbow.

Fourth place, bib #16 Remy Leduc, whose bib was confusing me as bib ten all weekend so I'm glad Remy is a face I recognize so I could keep that straight.

As promised yesterday, here's video I took of #17 Brian Kandler and #5 Nathan Schroeder coming in to the #UP200 finish together. The cheers you hear are Brian's wife who was sharing a straw bale with me while we waited (both trackers were lagging so it had been a bit of a mystery where they were!)

Okay #UglyDogs, stopped to get food to break up my 7 hour drive home and imported my photos from today while here, so here's one of @quincemountain.bsky.social on his way to the finish line! More photos of all the finishers to come tomorrow once I have slept. #UP200 #MusherSky

Another year volunteering complete! Briefly covered several other jobs in addition to photography both yesterday and today. Also got my yearly catch-up with a college friend who is one of the head vets. "Tracker season" is even more fun when you're a part of it. I love this sport. #UP200

#UP200 red lantern spotted, but I am at a spot where I can see probably a full mile away so a few minutes to go yet.

I will probably only get photo of Quince coming in. Was doing both photos with the camera and cell phone video for a while but a lot of volunteers have left and I've gone from just photography duty to doing three things, so I'm busier than I expected to be and only have two hands! 🤪 #UP200 #UglyDogs

All #UP200 mushers still on the trail are within 26 miles of the finish. Brian Kandler and Nathan Schroeder came in right together. I have video I will share when I have more reliable service.

Mary Manning and Benjamin Amat scratched at Wetmore (Timber Products on trackleaders) which makes Quince Mountain the probable red lantern. Three have finished, from my vantage point I can see the fourth musher, eight others still on trail. Red lantern is 43 miles out. #UP200
