The three big local sled dog races are this weekend, the UP 200 and Midnight Run start tonight and the Jackpine 30 starts on Saturday AM. Midnight Run had 28! mushers withdraw. Must be the lack of good training conditions. Some of the UP 200 withdrawals are surprises as well as they are from the good snow UP. We will miss this year's race, but have several offers to drive our team for next year.
Still no new snow, pretty incredible, but we had a break in the bitter cold yesterday and the dogs were sunbathing.
On another topic, Icehouse Beer in Milwaukee had a challenge that allowed the winner to choose his/her ultimate sports trip. The winner chose the Iditarod. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070215/aqth028.html?.v=3
(Thanks, Donna, Karen, Barb for the tip!)
A few years ago I flew to Yentna Station and at the end of the day my pilot was nowhere to be found. A Miller beer charter allowed me a seat back to Anchorage (same beer family as Icehouse), for which I was very grateful!
