Wildlife in Races

Yesterday the frontrunners in the Fur Rendezvous sprint races were challenged by the downtown wildlife, out near the Campbell strip as I understand it. Both Streeper and Erhart's teams were charged by a cow moose, injuring a number of dogs. Later in the day a trail helper searching for a lost camera met a grizzly bear standing tall in the trail.

Another reminder that Anchorage differs from being in a lower 48 city. Wishing safety next Saturday to all the Iditarod as they go out on those trails in the Iditarod Start.
