    Good morning.
    I received a message from Ms. Klatt at Northern Air Cargo this morning.  In addition to your legal name, she would like to have your mailing address so she can send the voucher certificate to you personally.  Can you please send me you mailing address in addition to your legal name?  With the first shipments being in about 3 we…[Read more]

    Please send me your official name as soon as possible so Northern Air Cargo can produce the voucher you will use for shipping. The name will need to match the name on your official ID.

    Also, if you want fish for your drop bags for the Nome side drops, please let me know as soon as possible how much you would like and how you would like it…[Read more]

  • Good afternoon. I spoke to our Northern Air Cargo contact and she needs each person requesting a $200 voucher to send me their legal name… one that matches their official id such a drivers license. After I receive this, she will send me the certificates for each person to use for shipping.
    Thank you!
    Stephanie

    Thank you Kathleen. All of the things you mentioned are being worked on and will be finalized as soon as the schools go back in session. I like the idea of a spreadsheet. Thank you.

  • Here’s a great way to get your drop bags to Nome…. The Club 49 Program … but only 100# at a time or take a friend who is also Club #49 and have them ship another 100#. See details:

    Freight for Less benefits apply only to Club 49 members aged 16 and older. Proof of membership (Club 49 card or Club 49 member status via A…[Read more]

  • 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…[Read more]

    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

    How confusing. Thanks for working through all of this. Do you and Robert think having everyone bring the drop bags to a certain location for mail out on a certain date would be best? Do you know if they always keep the road to Manley open?

  • Stephanie Masters Johnson posted a new activity comment 6 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks for the update Robert. I am excited things are starting to come together.

  • Gil and I have been conversing with Sandra Rowe owner of the Nome Animal House. She is willing to order kennels and have them here in Nome for those who need them. She will give them to Serum Run for the actual cost of the kennel plus her shipping cost to Nome. She gave us the following prices.

    32″ Ultra Vari Kennel (30-50#)…[Read more]

  • Looks like Kathleen, Bill and Juliah will be staying with Kirsten at either her own home or her dog home. I will begin talking to folks for hosting Marla. Anyone else need housing while in Nome?

  • Stephanie Masters Johnson posted a new activity comment 6 years, 2 months ago

    The backhaul rate will be a little higher than Everts if I am reading it correctly. BACKHAUL RATE
    This rate is provided for items shipped from hub destinations back to Anchorage or Fairbanks.

    Freight weight in lbs. × .35 × Fuel Surcharge × Federal Air Transportation Tax = Backhaul Rate. However, for dogs in airline kennels they have a on…[Read more]

    Juliah, did you find a sled? I have a raised toboggan that may be good for the expedition but I would need it for training until close to time we leave. If you could find one closer, I am sure that would better since it would not have to be shipped but keep it in mind. Phil is my neighbor and would probably be willing to check it out for any…[Read more]

    • Hi Stephanie. Thank you, I think I have one. One is promised to me as a loaner starting after January. If that one falls through, I will be very happy to have a back up !!!
