Once you're down off the hill, you'll run across some rolling country for a couple of miles, then across a couple of lakes, then down into a deep- banked slough. Shageluk is on the far side of the slough, perched on high ground overlooking a wide curve in the southward-flowing Innoko River. You'll climb up out of the slough, run through outlying parts of town for a short distance, and eventually wind up on the main street. The dogs will probably be parked around the school, which is at the end of the main street. The checkpoint is usually in the log cabin community center about a block from the school.
Cold water is available.
