Subject: RE: BS: Waaaaay UP! To Alaska....
I would tell you about mushing into the Wrangel-Mt. St. Elias mountains with the diptheria serum one winter, but I have to go get ready for work. I have to see someone before I go to a meeting with the Mayor at 9, too. But the temperature was -77 F. when I started and that was the high for the week. The dogs died and I had to continue on foot, in snow eight feet deep and me without snowshoes. But I knew that Nome was depending upon me.
