Long-time musher Arleigh Jorgenson of Grand Marais was one of the organizers of the original Gunflint Mail Run, held in 1980. This photo, shared with the Cook County Historical Society by Jorgenson, shows the start of a race at the Coast Guard Point in Grand Marais. Jorgenson no longer races, but still lends a hand when called upon. He was part of the trail crew at last week’s Gunflint Mail Run.
