Iditarod 2017

[Hovadipo 53,959]

Such a cool thread, Alaska. In Junior High we did a project where we read about Alaska and then kept track of the Iditarod throughout the whole race. Each student drew a Musher's name out of a hat and kept track of that Musher the entire time on a giant map of Alaska on the wall in the hallway. The student whose Musher won, won a Huskie puppy from someone our teacher knew in the area that bred them. I've been fascinated by this ever since. You guys are a different breed up there lol.

My four kids picked out teams/mushers today and will be following along. Good stuff. Keep the inside scoop coming Alaska. You're like the janitor of Iditarod!

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to move to Alaska even more than I already do.

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to move further south. Maybe even to Naples. I hear there are some Hoosiers down there!

I was happy to watch those crazies on the computer today. No way I could live there. Call me a pansy all you want. I won't care!

Always know you got a friend in anchorage! By the way, I'm back now; any part of the Iditarod I can catch near by? Any fun events for spring/summer?

Yogi, this summer is what i live for! Have you fished here yet? Make plans for the Klutina Red run and Valdez! well, since you are in Anchortrash, you can go to Seward and get the military charter and catch some Halibut. Carve out some time cuz it comes quickly... Are you doing any hunts? I'm a caribou, Moose hunt kinda guy. However, I want to do some Black bear near valdez.
