Elder Mabel Takak came out to see Aliy Zirkle here in Shaktoolik. Aliy Zirkle drew a huge crowd. As always she took the time to socialize with her fans. Yet it was visible, that Aliy was on a mission. She was in the hunt. No doubt that she would not stay here. Here dogs seem to know that too, as they kept barking to go. Very animated team, all 13 dogs.  She left at 12.52. Mitch Seavey has left a few minutes later at 13.04
