Who's trail breaker

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!

Came across this in a Runyan article from Ruby:

March 6 Ruby—Sorlie arrives the Yukon

Since we don’t have the internet at the checkpoint we discover our primitive roots. We have to rely on snowmachiner reports to advise us of an incoming musher rather than refer to the very practical Insider gps tracker. It’s painful to be pretending 1970 when I know the Insider GPS tracker would tell us the exact location of a musher would allow us to drink coffee inside the community hall. Instead, some rumor originating from an unidentified snowmachiner who claims to have seen Sorlie six miles out has created a fervor in the checkpoint. “Sorlie is arriving!” We all dress in gear suitable for -20F and stand around outside waiting for Sorlie. The wind begins to penetrate winter gear, people stomp their feet. False Alarm.

I think this is the same snowmachiner that has started several world wars with misinformation about mushers arriving. Where is that guy? I want him sentenced to do public service work picking up plastic bags near a Walmart
."

I'm sure that snowmachiner is one of the Breaker boys....

Something is afoot. Sebastian devoted a whole column to the Breaker Clan here: http://iditarod.com/musher/march-9-whit ... -at-600am/

But even more mysterious: Why are four of the Breakers wearing masks in this picture:o :o :o :o :o :o :?: :?: :?:

Who woulda thought that we'd have a Breaker Clan member we could be proud of? ;) :mrgreen: :lol:

and thanks to Tangles and Heidi for making the Breaker connection with Laura ;) :D :mrgreen:

Maybe that's why those Breakers have masks on???? To hide the fact that they have a member that is above board and not one of the "naughty" ones?????

Good job you guys!
For all new Iditabuds, read this thread from the beginning. It was our first year with BSSD and we were giddy.
