Nic First into Kaltag!

Nic is off the river, and will enjoy a few hours gain over Mitch and Joar, who are presently at mile 642 and 640 respectively.  Kaltag is at mile 652. 

Nic says he stopped outside of Grayling to camp and Mitch passed him as he slept with one of his lead dogs.....he woke when Joar came by....so he set out to chase and passed Mitch shortly after, saying that was fun!  In any event, the 5 hour lead Nic once held has shrunk...he still has a good lead but we still have to coast yet to deal with, and Mitch is a force to be reckoned with on the coast...at least he is when its been a hard and fast trail.....not sure how the soft trail will impact Mitch's typical performance...we already know he is no longer carrying dogs....so it will be interesting to see how he does.....but heck, that's another 90 miles down the trail....first things first!
