General Race News and Tidbits

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!

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I decided to start a new thread. DeeDee is doing Dispatches from the Trail (videos) for KTUU https://www.ktuu.com/content/misc/568493711.html :D :D

I have a trans sister-in-law. Going back 25 years ago, once you trip over your " assumptions" life really does settle quickly. I'll be very blunt and say coming out is far more difficult for the primary than for friends and relatives.

We all believe and accept each other for reasons that don't always follow norms. Here we are, celebrating folks who actually want to sidle up to the sled dog vortex and get sucked right in. People who think a 1000 mile camping trip is their version of March Madness.

Life is something we all share. Life is to be celebrated.
