Kim Slade, Wells Fargo Teacher on the Trail™

From Trail Tidbits 19, March 15 — "I was flying with Jeff Schultz again, so we landed on the sea ice between Koyuk and Elim to get some shots of Dave Monson and Tekla (Susan Butcher’s family).

We also got to watch them pull into Elim where they rested their teams. I was amazed to learn Tekla is only eleven years old and has driven her own team across Alaska.
