Ahhh volunteer goodies. I lived in AK from ‘91-’96. Still have my Volunteer Sweatshirts from ‘92-96. Other stuff except for pins long lost thru time.
In ‘the 95 or 6 race DeeDee Jonrowe wanted to keep her sled weight minimal so did not bring a firearm.
Middle of nowhere she rounds a bend to confront a Bull Moose.
Now, Moose do not discriminate between wolf and dog. It got ugly.
Some minutes behind her Jeff King (if memory serves) rounds the bend, pulls out his revolver and shoots the Moose dead.
Longer story short.
Somewhere in my box o stuff, I also have an unused supply bag marked for the village of Safety.
I’m probably one of fifteen people in the state of Maryland who even knows what the Iditarod is.
