Kaltag cp. #1

Nulato to Kaltag
by Donald Bowers, Jr.

Quick Overview
This is another run on the Yukon on a well-traveled snowmachine highway. Plan on three to five hours. The trail passes several well-defined islands and crosses the river a couple of times before finally reaching Kaltag. The Yukon runs south-southwest all the way to Kaltag with no major bends. The right bank of the river will be a series of thousand-foot ridges and hills, with a few gaps for streams to flow into the Yukon. The east bank will generally be low and wooded, opening onto a vast area of swamps to the east.

I really do wish they could have written the last-updated info in the table and not only in the pop-ups. It would have been so much easier to see if the readings was anything to trust at all (Ahh, now they updated King's info, but it was like 53 minutes or something since the last, and yes 0 mph and still in Kaltag).
(..and yes, I want the fix-reading too, but I realise that it might be a bit confusing..)

But, at least they've sorted them after standing and not bib.. That's something

Looks like Kjetil is just 4-5miles out of Kaltag. Nice run!

King is still resting in Kaltag. Saw the video "King on his position". He said that he is not sure if he can manage with as little rest as Mackey himself, but that his dogs are able to.

Personally I anticipate a slower King at coast due to his personal condition. Remember last year he lost som positions along the coast, ending up in fifth place.

Yeah, he's had a steady pace nearly all of the leg. Will be interesting to see if King decides to leave when Kjetil arrives. Now I gotta split, dinner at my dad's place - steak.
