We had an extremely full day today at the Restart of Iditarod in Willow, Alaska.
I had hoped to not work today but they asked me to wave a big flag warning off snowmachines on a tricky little hill for the departing mushers, so I did just that all afternoon.
Prior to the trail guarding we did have a great chance to visit Aliy, Trent Herbst and family and Wager, his escaped dog we were able to catch and rescue last fall and Sue Morgan (who has Brant, the partially blind dog). From our perch with the flag we were able to share good wishes with numerous mushers as they headed down the second lake toward Nome, including, Aliy, Ed Stielstra, Karen Ramstead, Trent and many others.
We have many photos of musher's faces, dog's faces and the places of the Iditarod. Wager runs a fantastic lead for Trent he said... that was quite a lucky for him he said that Wager could be caught.
For starters here is Aliy (eyes closed) who is looking just great as do her dogs and Trent and Cali. Also a photo of Sue Morgan in center in front of her truck... It will take me a bit to sort these photos but each year I also try to take a photo of Iditarod's official photographer, Jeff Schultz, so am including that as we also had a nice chat today.
