This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here. Hosting is provided by the Bering Strait School District (BSSD), and the area is open all year. Care to be one of our volunteer moderators? Contact us!

We'll be traveling to McGrath to catch the teams as they come through that checkpoint, and I'm debating whether to take my laptop or not. Does anybody know what internet options are available in the town. Any wireless hotspots?

Hey,
You may want to try contacting the Iditarod Area School District, and ask if they have any idea who would know how to get connected in McGrath. However, it is not a school district that we have worked with in the past very much, so I don't know many contacts there. I would not assume that they will let you connect at the school...but they may know the ins and outs of getting hooked up in that community.

Thanks for the tip. It turns out they have a wireless hotspot available at the Iditarod Area School District building there.

Feyer,
Saw you helped "Fruffy" out with this on the ITC forum's thread on this question, and fully agree with you that McGrath is not too "rough" for laptops
Anyway, it was nice of you to help he or she out.
Regards,
Johncn
