Show Notes

In part two of our series with Maine musher Jonathan Hayes, we follow the first leg of his Centennial Seppala Expedition across Alaska: from Nenana to Galena, through brutal conditions few thought possible. Jonathan recounts harrowing moments on the trail, including falling through overflow, surviving subzero extremes, and even rescuing a stranded elder along the Yukon.

This episode reveals the grit of both musher and dogs as they honor the 1925 serum run in a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
