Are Dan, Bob and Jan friends?  I hope they run together to the finish.

GO RACERS!

Target® Iditarod Teacher on the Trail™ | Target® is the Official Sponsor of the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail program

I found a cool blogger this morning.  A teacher sponsored by Target to report on all the informative and interesting bits about the Iditarod.  Posts about Robert Service and the ice and the snow and the dogs… all for school kids!

Our racers!

The Sisters are in.  Dan and Matt are close together.  But I think Jan and Bob are racing for the Red Lantern.  Perhaps Dan has too much pride to come in ‘Last Place’.  We see the last in line one way is first in line going the other way.

Race Hard and Sleep well!

Dallas has an hour on Aliy.  Check out the photos and commentary on iditablog.com from StreetShutter

Let’s go yall!

DRAMA ALERT!  Dallas Seavey is racing to win saying, “that he has been holding back his team, waiting to release the “monster”.  Aliy seems to have popped too early and her team is tiring before the finish.

This video – look at the body language and tone of voice – says alot.

More on our gang:
Matt Failor: 52nd place out of Galena

Seeing Double Sisters: Kristy Berington and Anna Berington – 44 and 45th place in Nulato

Dan Seavey is hanging on to the lantern and it seems he is sticking with Jan Steves and Bob Chlupach – Just like before. Ruby is their current home on the trail.

Good luck everyone!

Crow Village Iditarod Blog: Rumble on the River.

I saw this picture and my iditarod fever shot up to 103.  I love the color and the eerie feel.  It’s other worldly.  It makes we want to write a sci-fi short story about mushers on another planet.

What it must be like to be out in that environment.  Could it be the aurura reflected in the dogs eyes?  Awesome.

Updates!

I think I’m the low man on the Idiabloger totem-pole.  Have you heard this term?  I’m not a big dog mushing race fan – I don’t know the Squwentana 300 from the sprint races to the indy 500 – but I’m interested this year, for some reason.

Matt Failor  and Dan left Ophir close together.

C’mon gang!

Iditarod Live: The Sled Blog : Day 5: Lanier’s gold: a dog for him or bling for her? | adn.com.

How are dudes (and dudettes) doin?

Jim Lanier has fallen off the lead after taking the $3,000 in gold nuggets offered for being the first musher to the halfway point.  He is taking it easy and figuring out how to spend the loot – a new lead dog or some bling for his wife.  Tough choice!

Matt Failor: holding steady at the back of the pack in Ophir. Ah!  And, I see that Matt is working with 4 time iditarod champion, Martin Buser.

Seeing Double Sisters: Kristy Berington and Anna Berington: 49 and 50th place out of  Ophir and completed the 24 hour layover.

Dan Seavey: Has got the iditarod’s 6.  His son and grandson are rockin way up front.  I hope that he is relaxed and breathing easy back there. I hope he is enjoying the ride and teaching us all a lesson in life.  Perhaps you can meet him on a dog sled tour at his place near Seward
