I've been checking daily and am glad to see new posts. How long was the flight from Anchorage to Nome? And how far? Google maps say, "We could not calculate directions between Nome, Alaska and Anchorage."
I think it was about 2 hours. Can't exactly remember. Right, no roads from Anchor-town to Nome. The 'Iditarod Trail' is a little more or less than 1000 miles, and it's round-about. So I would guess 700 miles or so.
