Would you elaborate on this a bit? I am an ancient friend of Rick Swenson - our parents knew each other in West Central Minnesota. Of late, most of what Iditarod fans see is not always very favorable towards Rick - 'Mr. Grumpy'. What makes him 'Da man' to you? ...Dave

Thanks for taking the time to join us. I want to echo the words of the others saying that we rode the Iditarod rollercoaster with you (and Tamra) this year and I'm glad that ultimately everything turned out ok. No real question here... just wanted to give yu a shout out and say thanks.
Tamra, It was an absolute pleasure hanging with you during the race. Don't be a stranger. You both are part of our community, our family now. I hope you can feel that.
Please post your itinerary for your trip to the lower 48 when you can. If you get anywhere near the Deep South (TN, GA, NC, SC etc) I would love to catch up with you.
Take care,
Linda

My questions:
1) I like your idea of "floating 4's" on the coast. Have you discussed this idea with other mushers, and if so, how do they feel about this?
2) How many dogs do you bring along on your school tours, and who takes care of the ones left back at the kennel?
3) Now that you're no longer doing summer tours in Skagway, do you ever get down there anymore? I love Skagway - and Haines too (when the cruise ships are gone).
I hope I get to meet you when y'all are down in Texas later this year.

Lance, Jeff and Martin all would have been lucky to be a Swenson handler back in the 70's-80's. HHN

Congratulations on two great finishes!
Can you compare the weather on Eagle and the weather past Shaktoolik?
I hope you continue to run both races - you are an asset to the sport.
Thanks to Tamra for her gracious presence here while you were away.
Thank you for making time to answer our questions, and for the good humor you show!
