Carla and I are having a “shakedown” on December 7th-8th on the Denali Highway during the Alpine Creek Excursions Race. Kathleen will be there with her handlers and it should give us a good learning experience. Kathleen and I got our 1,000 booties and 500# of fish, thank you Phil. Training is well underway and snow is falling along with the temperatures! Carla and I are meeting with friends who have done this trail independently. We will see if they have any good contacts for the villages. maybe we can come up with the necessary people to watch our stuff. I will post again Sunday, when I know more.
