Kotzebue's John Baker, your 2011 Iditarod champion.
A large crowd turned out on Nome's Front Street to greet John Baker, the 2011 Iditarod champion.
Baker's dogs took a detour on their jog to the finish line, darting briefly to the left on Front Street.

Nome resident and Iditarod volunteer Leo Rasmussen holds Baker's sign-in sheet and mail packet.
The official sign-in sheet for the Nome checkpoint (the end of the Iditarod race), plus the "mail" carried in John Baker's sled (each musher carries a packet of envelopes on the trail, symbolic of dog mushing's heritage as, among other things, a means of carrying mail).
