Jose Diego of Spain spent a night with us after walking from Unalakleet on his way from Anchorage to Nome. He pulls a small sled with his gear. He shared some of his adventures with our students. He has traveled the world over- hiking, biking, kayaking and climbing- most of the time alone. He even climbed Mt. Everest two years ago.

Not only do people travel the trail with dog teams, some even go by bike or even walk. The week after the mushers came through the bikers arrived. First two, then one, then two more. Although they attempt to ride their bikes, they often spend much time pushing them. It is interesting to talk to them as they rest awhile and catch up on some sleep in the school. The kids enjoy visiting with them, too.
