Iditarod 2011

I couldnt drag my team away from the hydrant so I am a couple days late with the annual Salmon Iditarod Coverage. Once again the lady that lets me live with her has treated me to the Iditarod Insider Package and the racer GPS live tracker.

The race began from Willow Sunday morning with 63 mushers. Four time champ Martin Buser led the pack into Nicoli today 243 miles down the trail. One hundred seventeen miles back is the Red Lantern and musher Robert Story. As the screen shot shows, that's one long line of dog doo.
