Sled drag to Yentna Station

Friday and Saturday I did a 62.5 mile Sled Drag from Deshka Landing to Yentna Station and back. About half of that is on the ITI route. I was on the move for about 16 and a half hours total and had a wonderful night at the lodge. It was a beautiful cold trip with great trail conditions--among the best conditions I have seen. The temperature was about -15*F when I started each morning (about 8:00am both days) and it warmed up slightly during the day, but I doubt it got over 5*F either day. Despite the cold weather there was still a bid of open water on the river, including one section very close to the trail about 8 miles up the Yentna. I did very little running. Mostly I kept up a brisk walk, but I felt great and had a wonderful time. If these conditions hold for the ITI, it'll be a great race.
