The Last Great Race

The Iditarod began on Saturday, March 1st. Its quite the exciting time downtown for the ceremonial start and then they restart in Willow. If you own a plane most people follow the mushers from checkpoint to checkpoint or campout in the middle of no where and wait for the mushers to mush by. Have hot chocolate (or I am sure some other elixir) a chair and a warm coat and you can sit out there to cheer them on. Visit this site from our newspaper - they have photos from all the checkpoints along the way or go to the official site of the Iditarod and use their link to the GPS locator link. 15 mushers opted to attach 2 Ibs. GPS so that we can track their location and speed. Iditarod goes techy.
