On to the Yukon!

Team Kaiser is on the Move!

After a trail that had Teams walking in front of their Leaders in a blowing snowstorm, Pete and the Team were ready for a break! A long break! Richie was breaking trail into Shageluk and he related that it was 6 inches of fresh blown snow and they were just “wallowing through.” Tough going, but a real fine run for our pal from Aniak!

Fortunately Shageluk is the first checkpoint that Teams can take their 8 hour mandatory break and Pete and Richie were more than in for that!

A bit after 2pm the guys set out for the Yukon River and the Anvik checkpoint. Weather in the area is windy and cold, but fortunately for Pete, the Team is used to wind!

As before they arrived into Shageluk, a bunch of Teams are racing for the Top 10 as well.

It’s going to be a long night tonight as Pete and the Team turn and face the wind on the way North to Kaltag via Anvik (26 Miles), Grayling (18 Miles), and Eagle Island (62 Miles).

Go Team Kaiser!!

In terms of Weather, there IS another low approaching and wind is going to switch to the South as it approaches from the Southwest. Crossing our fingers that it doesn’t cause issues going across the Portage.

This Afternoon
Cloudy, with a high near 23. North wind around 20 mph.
Tonight
A 20 percent chance of snow before 9pm. Cloudy, with a low around 11. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph.
Saturday
A 20 percent chance of snow before 9am. Cloudy, with a high near 18. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph.
