A few last photos of Iditarod 06







Long Lake out of Willow is a great place to watch the 'real' start, the re start of Iditarod.
We hiked out and set up and that also happened to be where the KTTU photograher, the official Iditarod photographer and the European contingency chose to view. The Europeans rigged a tripod for cooking and waved flags when their mushers came through.

While I couldn't take photos, I was flagging off snowmachines to protect the mushers/dogs as they entered the lake on the narrow trail. At this point, the mushers and dogs are very happy to get away from the crowds, finally.

The fur photo is of one of the many fur vendors along the route, including in the villages.
The whole Iditarod is a bit of a fur fashion show with the viewers wearing their best.
