Koyuk CP #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!

This news on Ken Anderson from his wife's blog (Gwen)

I finally sent a message to Koyuk and asked him to call me in White Mountain, which he did, right after he woke up so he was pretty groggy. He said he pulled over for about 2-1/2 hours at a shelter cabin just before he crossed Norton Sound. The going was tough and it was hot. His sled was dragging hard and he felt he needed to change his runner plastic. He also mentioned that while all 15 of his dogs lead, none of them wanted to set a decent pace and he spent a lot of time trying different leaders combinations. He said he felt he had that problem solved as he has settled on Okayo and Jango as his go-to leaders at this stage in the game. He said all the dogs were still healthy and eating well and he didn’t anticipate dropping anyone, although he hadn’t gone back outside to check on them. Our conversation was brief, and it sounded like he was planning to leave relatively soon.
