Can anyone view this page or do people have to be approved to see it? Have we all been made administrators (or whatever the proper term is) so that we can post on the page? Is this a vehicle I could refer friends to if they want to watch our progress on the trip, assuming we…[Read more]

This is just the cost for the straw. Does not include shipping. There will be some transportation costs to get straw by truck from FBKS to Nenanna and Manley and there will be air freight costs getting straw to Ruby and Kaltag. With Bering Air’s generous donation of…[Read more]

I’ve talked with Sandra at the Animal House in Nome and she will order our 22 bales of straw at her next order. I will pay her for them when she lets me know they are ordered. Nome straw cost for Julia, Robert, Marla & Kathleen is $172.20 each. Nome straw cost for…[Read more]

Aren’t there an air freight charges for Wright’s air? Or will that be figured in with our freight charges along with our drop bags.

Anyone who helps us get down the trail deserves our thanks – and not just a verbal thank you.

This is mostly for mushers, since us mushers have the most stuff to be sent out and watched over. My figuring shows a possible 7 spots: Manley, Tananna, Ruby, Kaltag, Unalakleet, Koyuk & White Mountain. I…[Read more]

I used to get straw from Cold Spot via regular mail. it’s more expensive than by-pass (which is about 48 cents/pound). How heavy are the bales? I just did a USPS “calculate price” test using these parameters: Weight: 55#, Dimensions: 48 x 18 x 18 -priority mail says $45.03 for shipping. If it’s $22/bale…[Read more]

I’m not interested in buying new ones to match a color scheme. I am happy to put spray paint on my bags of an appropriate color – but it seems a bit much to have to buy new poly bags. I’m not against spending money – I’m happy to do that, but if I have useable stuff on hand I want to use it. I don’t need to add to my…[Read more]

Fairbanks can send by-pass to certain locations, Anchorage can send by-pass to certain locations. For instances, Fairbanks cannot send by-pass to Nome. It is Anchorage that sends by-pass to Nome. There has to be at least 1000 pounds to get the by-pass…[Read more]

And Juliah I can put you up too – What’s Carla’s situation. I’d give Kathleen and Bill my basement and Juliah, you can have the “dog house” It is really a fine place. Carla could stay there too.

I have bedroom space in the basement of my house in town and I also have a little house where I keep my dogs (1/4 mile outside of town) that is fully equipped [heat, water, compost toilet, stove – a few voles running around stealing kibble, but rarely seen 😉 ]

I think the movie night would be a total hoot and I’d be glad to learn about one or two of the serum run mushers to make a presentation about them.

Please send me (a photo would be fine) your deposit slip if you deposit your own checks. I don’t need copies of the checks – I’d just like a copy of the deposit slip. I also made the cutest “bank bag” out of Jon Van Zyle’s silly siberian fabric – big enough to hold tubs o’ cash for along the trail.
