Working for Bering Marine in the summers, Pete spends much of his time on the water, actually we all do. The home waters of the Kuskokwim welcome Pete and the Team today as he makes his way into Nikolai. The Kuskokwim River is the second longest river in Alaska and people living around it use it for everything. Transportation, fishing, hunting, and berry picking– The “Kusko” is the main lifeline to our way of life in Rural Alaska.
Pete made real good time across the burn and I expect a break for the Team and then a push straight into Takotna and his 24 hour layover. Watching the Insider Videos shows cool temperatures and excellent mushing weather.
Weather Cam is showing sunny skies which means that the low from the coast isn’t affecting them. It will warm a bit, but I would expect cool temperatures comparatively. Downriver in Aniak, Richie Diehl’s hometown it was almost 40 degrees this morning.
Good Going Mr. Kaiser!!
