Unalakleet
It's another beautiful weather! After the gas station opening, we filled tank full and head to the Ocean! We run across Kaltag Portage Trail today. First 10 miles were terrible bumpy trail. Big stress of sled joint! Just before Old Woman Cabin, one of our sled joint finally warned out! But good things, still weather is our side.
After temporary fixing "Eye ring" for sled joint, I stop many times to fix it again and try to keep same speed.
We arrived Unalakleet little pass 5 pm. Middle school science teacher Ming waiting for us. Ming called welder to fix eye ring. BSSD maintenance Brian came to fix for us!!! We could be on schedule.
Ming download our permafrost monitoring hole.
The end of the day, Unalakleet is alway best place in Alaska. You can see sunset to the ice horizen same like we saw last year.
