UNALAKLEET was another place Hank and I stayed for about 5 days. There is one restaurant PEACE ON EARTH serving as a place to stay (on the floor) and eat. We were to stay on the floor but they had one room in another building that the people just left so WE GOT IT!! Great place to go for a checkpoint. There is a coffee shop as well where they have WI FI so all the visitors go there to hook up!!Its now an 85 mile trek to the next checkpoint of SHAKTOOLIK so a lot of the mushers rest a bit here. Sometimes they order pizza to bring down to their sleds so they can eat there and head out!!
UNK TAKE OUT!!!
This is BLUE STEEL--MONICA ZAPPA'S leader. She says he is an amazing dog. Has an ego, he knows he's the man and everybody like to take pictures of him which he enjoys BUT when it comes to getting thru a storm in lead is his favorite position. He plows thru the wind and he has run most of the Iditarod's in single lead.
