A good dog team will take you anywhere!

We follow every year. Followed the Yukon Quest too. Our musher came in third.
A friend who is a missionary is moving to a village in Alaska this spring. He was amazed that I knew where it was. It’s a checkpoint on the trail. Now we have a place to stay.
Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is wonderful.
Each musher starts with a set of 80 dogs and then picks the best 20 for the race. Each team has a lead dog who is super smart. If you meet a lead dog from the Iditarod, then you will think it is like meeting a person: super smart. Each dog sleeps in the snow and gets brushed off in the mornings. The history started with the gold rush in Nome and the need for mushers to deliver the mail.
