Great News!! Bering Air has generously donated freight for both straw and drop bags if we can get the straw and drop bags to them by February 4th. This is a huge savings for all of us! Can we have a volunteer to work with NAC / Everts / Lynden on getting prices to send the drop bags from Anchorage to Nome? Marla, I think you would need to use Everts from Fairbanks. I personally recommend NAC. They have a daily delivery to Nome unlike the others and they are used to handling the Iditarod supplies.

It should be noted that if the drop bags are not to Bering Air by the noted date, these are their rates for shipping to the Villages:
Per Russell at Bering Air – “If that is much lead time is not going to work than this would be the freight rates for those locations”:
Unalakleet – $1.65 per pound
White Mountain – $1.15 per pound
Koyuk – $1.55 per pound
