Charlie Evans

Bishop Mountain to Nulato

Half Athabascan Native, Evans, 21 years old, left Bishops Mountain at 5:00 am with a reported temperature of −64 °F (−53 °C). Arrived at Nulato at 10 am covering 30 miles in 5 hours running a 9 dog team. Two borrowed dogs suffered frozen groins on the trip. 30 mi (48 km) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1925_.....um_run_to_Nome

As a tribute to my favorite movie of the event I will upload (as far as it is possible) something Balto-related each day of 2025. Here the gallery starts so you can see them all: https://www.deviantart.com/emberwol.....years-of-balto
“Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.”
