SEATTLE -- Fifty-three Iditarod race dogs ended up on an unexpected detour south of Seattle Tuesday.
The dogs are part of four Norwegian sled teams and were headed home from Anchorage when they ran into issues with flying from Alaska, said Dag Olsen, one of the team mushers. When faced with that hurdle, the quickest, most affordable option became renting a large truck and making the 2,500 mile trek to catch the Seattle-to-Norway flight.
"They said, 'if you must go now, OK, we can give you one flight, but you must pay $80,000 to $100,000.' I have not so much money. I'm sorry," Olsen said. "So then we must rent a car and drive it from Anchorage to Seattle."

The only road from Alaska to Seattle is the Alaska Highway through Canada, and it's certainly not I-5. Not sure if it's even open in winter.I call the story BS.
I think the Norwegians got lost. Thank goodness the tribe came to their rescue.
And you're an idiot.
They had made it to Seattle but did not have a place to stay and were lacking food and water for the dogs. At least that is my take on the story.
Did you pat yourself on the back when you were posting that stupid comment?
