Everyone,

I received the email from Kathleen this morning at 5:30am. So everyone is on the same page… THERE HAS BEEN A SCHEDULED POSTED TO THIS PORTAL SINCE IT WAS DESIGNED FOR THE GROUP. It’s on your dashboard. It’s also on the post above from me with the lodging information.

It is important that at this time we adhere to this schedule…[Read more]

LODGING UPDATE:
As of 12/4/19 I have gathered contacts for 12 of the checkpoints. Nenana to Old Woman Cabin. A matrix is being developed with the new contacts and new notes regarding accommodations as I’m able to gather this information. Although I have gathered phone numbers and sent emails, I only have GOOD TO COME info from about 8 of the…[Read more]

Juliah, Please share the contacts you have for Nulato and any other villages so I can update the matrix I have created and so I can contact them along with the other contacts I am gathering. ~Michele

I just tried it and it opens for me. When you click on it it will go to your download folder. Its saved as a Word Doc (thats what Phil sent it over as). You should be able to open it using Word, Pages, Google Docs or whatever you typically use.

I gave Greg Parvin a phone call during our group call. I used to work for him. Greg is affiliated with Iditarod etc. I called to ask him if he had a Siglin Sled we could borrow for Dr. Lou. Unfortunately he doesn’t but he will ask around for me and let me know. If I haven’t heard by the 15th we should proceed as if we need to source a sled elsewhere.

Kathleen, Stephanie and I are handling the lodging.

I will have information to pass along in a few days regarding this and…[Read more]

Hi Tamra

Please try to get on to your PupPortal

Kathleen, I am handling the lodging. I have an extensive list from previous runs including contacts, most of which are over 5 years old but a start nonetheless. Please do not attempt to contact lodges yourself as the more people the more confusion. Stephanie is also working on lodging on her end from what I understand. There is a plethora of…[Read more]
