STALKING MAIL TRAIL
ALONG The YUKON

One of Alaska's worst trails. that
between kaltag, lower Yukon river
town. and Unalakleet, n Norton sound
coast point between st. Michael and
Nome, is being given winter stake
markings. Stakes along the trail, It
is believed will help the mail car
riers and their dog teams during the
winter.
Mail for Nome, St Michael and
Seward peninsula points Is carried
over the Kaltag UnalakIeet trail dur
ing the winter. In the summer it runs
through a wilderness and is used by
only the most daring "mushers," who,
by taking the seventy-fve-mile trail
can save 250-mile trip through the
Yukon delta and across a strip of the
Boring sea to st. Michael. In the
winter the trail is packed by SNOW,
but in the summer it is DOGGY and
climbs over or goes around thousands
of 'nigger-heads."
