2005 Serum Run
at Old Woman Cabin

Erin &
Kent with Fritz in Nome
|
We
had a wonderful trip to Nome this year!
A
great group of mushers and machiners, who worked together to make it a
fun and memorable trip!
Thanks
once again to the many people and villages along the trail that welcomed
us and help make our journey possible.
Eventually
I will update this site to include more photos and tales from the trail.
Please
visit the Offical Serum Run 25 Web site for reports and photos from this
years expedition.

My
Role |
I had the honor of being the
"Trail Boss". The Expedition has two 'bosses', (or
project managers for corporate types), a Trail Boss and a Musher
Boss. The Musher boss is Erin McLarnon, who as her title implies,
is the coordinator for musher and dog issues. As Trail Boss,
I will be responsible for the overall coordination of logistics and
trail travel, and act as the snowmobiler coordinator. The Musher
Boss and Trail Boss share responsibility for pre-trip duties, decision
making, and planning, to insure both musher and machiner views are
considered. (Thankfully there are board members and other volunteers
to help with the many tasks that need be accomplished, and to help with
advice!) Once on the trail the 'Bosses' monitor progress and conditions
to insure the safest possible
travel.
As in 2002, each musher will carry a days supply of food and equipment, while the
snowmobiler will carry an additional 3 days supply, extra gear, and
provide trail support. The snowmobiles break and mark the trail
ahead of the mushers, and sweep the trail clearing up any markers, gear,
or people that may remain. For the most part we will be staying at
the villages along the trail, however there are a few nights of
wilderness camping along the way.
