The second picture shows Discovery mounting stuff

(The caption is something like this: "Discovery Channels crew mounts the little camera which are going to film Sigrid's hours to Nome')

In the article in only says that she is one of six mushers. (And the rest of the article is just about that the race have started, and I think we kind of knew that

Does this mean Sigrid is wired and carrying tech stuff for two different projects?

Apparently so.

If you mean GPS (as one) and the Discovery Channel production (as the other), then yes. It is confirmed in the article.

Discovery picks up series on miners, Iditarod
By Kimberly Nordyke

March 19, 2008

Discovery Channel has greenlighted two series from the producers behind its hit show "Deadliest Catch," one of which centers on Pennsylvania coal miners and the other on contestants in a sled-dog race. ...............

Meanwhile, production has wrapped on the tentatively titled "Iditarod," a six-part series being eyed for a late-summer premiere. The hourlong series follows eight teams in the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race -- a 1,151-mile race that takes place over two weeks each March in the subzero Alaskan wilderness.

Beers said that cameras followed eight of the 85 teams that competed this month, and as luck would have it, "we got the winner." He said he's actually been interested in doing a show about the race for some time.

"But we had to wait until technology caught up," Beers said. "We couldn't use ordinary cameras. We had to use something that would be light enough so it wasn't weighing down the sleds."

Ford emphasized that neither series has been scheduled yet but noted that "Coal" might be a good pairing with "Dirty Jobs," while "Iditarod" could work well with Discovery's adventure-themed programming.

Original's credits include Discovery's "Monster Garage" and History Channel's "Ice Road Truckers" and "Ax Men."

Copy & Paste from Martin Buser's website:

http://www.buserdog.com/statpage/index.html

"The Discovery Channel will be airing an Iditarod Reality show similar to the Deadliest Catch. Martin had cameras on his sled and he was filmed in checkpoints. DeeDee, Martin, Sven, Lance and three others are the primary characters. Rohn is a secondary character. The 6 episode show will be aired in October. The camera crew feels very positive about the uniqueness of the show. We'll try to keep you posted!!!"

I think the coolest part about this whole thing is that it is just not the FRONT runners that Original Productions(Discovery Channel) went after...it really seems like they tried to get a smattering of folks...and I actually think my guy is the one that had camera's on his sled that was furthest back in the standings...so placing #58 does mean something...giggle

This experience has been amazing...and I have tons of respect for my husband as he was asked to carry the cameras and battery pack along wtih the GPS unit...all this in his ROOKIE year. I think he sees this as an educational opportunity...you can never take the teacher out of him...I wish you all could meet him...he really truly is a dedicated and wonderful person!!!!! (okay can you tell i miss him...he gets home tonight)
