Iditarod 2010 The Spirit of Alaska! More Than a Race…
The Iditarod Begins this weekend in Anchorage Alaska….then to Eagle River and then on to Wasilla for the restart… then it is the historic trail to Nome… The 1,149 Mile race to Nome commemorates the brave mushers and dog teams who saved the lives of hundreds of people in 1925 from a diphtheria epidemic.
So check out some of these links especially http://www.iditarod.com the official site of the Iditarod …. Here you can find the history of the Iditarod and the story of the mushers, and their dogs ….it took them some 6 days in temperatures of 40 below and winds strong enough to blow a dog team and sled right over… Gunnar Kaasen drove the final trip into Nome thru a 80 mile pr hour wind blizzard. His lead dog Balto led the way and to this day there is statue of Balto in Central Park of New York City…
These sites will keep you updated on the events of the current Iditarod… you can find all the information you need right here http://www.iditarod.com/ http://www.ultimateiditarod.com/ http://insider.iditarod.com/
And take the time to listen to Alaska’s official Troubadour Hobo Jim… sing his song….Iditarod! and if you ever get the chance to go to Nome in March you can sing along with Hobo Jim! And if that sounds to cold come to Homer Alaska in the summer and we will make sure you hear it loud and clear some night!
