It was a long afternoon on the Koyukuk River. Pete and the Team set out at just after 4am this morning. After a break on the trail, a 15 hour run on the 84 miles from Huslia was a very long day.
Initially I was thinking a pass through towards Nulato, but at this point, I’m not sure. After such a stretch, “on the road,” I’m thinking a break here.
Running in a solid 9th place, this is a good position to be in at this point in the race. Apparently Pete had lost track and asked Sebastian as he passed, “What Place?” He left Huslia in 12th and is into Koyukuk in 9th. Top Ten at this point should make him happy, but I’m sure he’s looking forward.
One note, Aaron Burmeister’s team looked real nice into Koyukuk. He has to be pretty happy as well. He turned loose of his tow sled and is hoping to pick up some speed without it. Aaron has been so helpful to Team Kaiser and we wish him the very best on this next part of the trail.
Meanwhile, in Koyukuk, the sun is blaring and it’s a fairly warm day, Arctic-wise.
More Soon!
GO Team Kaiser!
