Precious cargo has just left Nome bound for Anchorage!

The dogs are in their individual kennels flying to Anchorage as you read this where Allen, Mickey and Doug are waiting to pick them up. Meghan flew out about the same time as the dogs so will be there soon and Aliy, Moira and Bridgett will follow tonight after packing up the rest of the gear.

Thanks to the team at Everts Air Cargo who took such great care with our friends to make sure they are safe and secure for their flight to Anchorage.

Thanks also to the wonderful volunteer team at the dog lot in Nome. It was such a comfort to know you were there 24 hours a day to keep an eye on our friends; replace blankets that blew away in the breeze, plump up straw and give them a kiss or two. You all did an awesome job and we can’t thank you enough.

  • So proud of all of you and very thankful for the amazing support staff there for Aliy, Allen and doggies.

    Safe travels. We would love to see you at Horizon Lines on your way through town, and know that you are ready to be home and comforable in your own space. 😀

    Safe travels, and Congrats to all on jobs well done!

  • What is the best about dogsale? Their love of pleasing us humans, to run like the wind for us in a race. What is the best about a musher? The need to take care of the devoted dogs. Scratching a race, for the sake of the dogs. Enjoying a win with them, whatever place they've made.
    Now that it is home time ,time for a good rest for both. Aliy, all the best for the team, dogs and humans.

  • What precious cargo indeed. Without those wonderful dogs there would not be Saracen. Thanks for all the great memories & your wonderful posts. Safe travels home & a great rest for all.

  • So happy to hear everyone got home safe and sound. Sorry I could not congratulate Allen on a great run, we were away.
    Love Allen's quote "Pull up your big boy pants and get zesty!"
    I hit my complaining daughter with this one and she laughed so hard she said she just might try it! Loved it.
    Kudos to the Royalty team of sled dog racing. Aliy, Allen, doggies and fantastic team members.
    You well deserve to be proud of everyone.
    Cheers,
