All 23 dogs were safely flown out of Nome last night on a cargo airplane headed to Anchorage. In total, 1,716 pounds of dogs, sleds and gear were shipped out.
Ryne and Doug were waiting at the Anchorage Airport to transfer the dogs to the Big Red Dog Truck. An additional truck was needed to haul the sleds, gear and airplane transport boxes.
We expect the caravan to arrive in Two Rivers this evening.
Before the dogs left Nome, we took a few minutes to snap some "glamour shots" in the beautiful blue sky afternoon.
