Golsovia, Unalakleet

Glen, at Jerry Austin's camp at Golsovia, where 7 dog teams were resting and a few tourists were checking out the tower. Golsovia, a name on the map like so many others in AK, was the only sign of human and dog life in the 80 miles from St. Michael to Unalakleet. A nice sunny ride today, made smooth by thigh-deep snow.

The view from the tower. Note the sundog low on the horizon and the lack of trees. This is wind country, though it wasn't here today.

We're out of the Yukon Delta, and on The Coast.

After leading us 80 miles over tundra and sea ice from St. Michael this morning, Kenji treated us to pizza at the world-famous Peace on Earth here in UNK.
