Iditarod Chase

5 posts in this topic

Posted

A buddy and I had a great trip last week following the Iditarod to Nikolai and McGrath then back home. It was a fun trip through some country I had not been through. We experienced everything from beautiful sunshine to socked in clouds, snow, wind and an unplanned three day stop at Puntilla Lake/Rainy Pass Lodge for weather and parts. It was a fun and learning experience. Attached are a picture chronical of the trip. Left on Tuesday at noon and squeeked back into Wolf Lake on the ice with lights on at 7:30 Sat night.

Sweet pics Randy! Last time I did that trip it was riding shotgun in a turbine otter at 3500# over gross with the winds from the north at 100-120... yeah, not a fun trip at all!
