Unalakleet, here we come! Unalakleet Checkpoint #1

This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

Sometimes I think I'm looking at "the northern lights" :roll: :roll: :roll: Maybe it's just a focus problem :!:

But - where is Sigrid?

She had a long rest in Kaltag, almost 6 h. And now her GPS has been located in the mountain for an eternity, at 39 miles out of Unk. Old Woman's Cabin, maybe???

I don't like this. I'm hoping she has ditched the gps or something, but that is highly unlikely.
