Trip to Iditarod 2018 - any one for meeting up?

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!

Moose thanks!

Not likely to be able to make it again so I will absolutely enjoy for all of us :D

Great to know we'll see you here more this time. As long as I can get internet access I'll be posting. I'm staying at Lakefront so should be okay for internet. It also means easy access to comms room . . . where I will be working.

I am now . . . . wait for it ..... drum roll ... an official Iditarod volunteer :D :D :D

Got all my shifts arranged. Can't wait!

I was just thinking about it yesterday (abt going, not volunteering). A little apprehensive about booking a flight, in case....Fairbanks again,.. Been thinking about going for years now and just never pulled the proverbial trigger. Maybe '18,...

Hey thanks Moose!

It's all getting a bit silly now - so I thought I'd share with you all just how silly ..... starting my days with singing along to Hobo Jim's Iditarod song. Yes, really. So I sit with coffee, click on the link below and . . . . sing along. Perfect way to start the day!

I know the furthest I'll travel is from my hotel room to the comms room, (after the small matter of getting from UK to Anchorage) but the whole thing is just magical. :D :D :D
