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!

They were discussing where to park the dogs and will go out and look for him. The dogs looked embarassed and worried. It is night so right now my best guess is he fell asleep and fell off and the team kept going. The tempature in Ruby is -8 and at least 10 degrees colder on the river. (posted at 5:00 am AK time)

Bruce Lee and the Insiders are there – an hour later Linwood arrived at the checkpoint. Apparently he fell asleep and fell off his sled. Linwood and his team are in fine condition.
Has mamamia been following the race too long or what
coldfeet, liked the video and Fieldler's comment, "they saved my bacon"

Maybe they could just send the team on. They seem to know the way!

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

Happiness depends more on the internal frame of a person's mind than on the externals in the world.
