Jeff has been making some nice night runs! When we signed off last night Jeff had departed Shaktoolik at 21:12 with his team of 13, and was headed to Koyuk. While we were snoozing Jeff made that run in 7 hours 40 minutes, posting the 2nd fastest run time for that section of trail so far and arriving at 4:52.
