Well, Mark and crew made it out of Bethel. They had some ice slush but mostly open water. Now they are on their way to Nome. The weather is kind of sloppy but they keep mushing their team of huskies (2 Cummins Diesels) and hope it isn’t 40 below when they are there!
PS Listening to Johnny Horton
For those following. Mark and the Fish Hawk have finally made it into the Kuskokwim River. At this time of year weather windows are small and when they appear are still not nice. They were hiding out so much on this trip they were worried the ice would beat them. Anyway they are waiting out the tide near Eek and plan to make Bethel tomorrow morning.
This was them in Seward a few weeks ago.
