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]

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

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

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?

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.

This rate is provided for items shipped from hub destinations back to Anchorage or Fairbanks.

We need to have solid numbers for shipping costs and number of dogs, but there may be a way to either share a dog box or share airline kennels.
