Iditarod Fever!

Well, the last great race start tomorrow, and as you might imagine, it's a pretty big deal up here. I recall hearing about this in years past, and it was always this distant (literally and figuratively) thing that was notable only in its craziness. Not here though, it is everywhere! My scrapbooking dealer even has a March contest called the I-Did-A-Page. I expect the Anchorage Daily News to have virtually no other news for the next couple of weeks. Which is fine - it is a pretty big deal! We plan to watch the ceremonial start tomorrow, though not necessarily from downtown. They run throughout Anchorage, and in fact pass pretty close to our place.
Tomorrow is just the ceremonial start. The real start is in Willow on Sunday. We won't be physically watching it, but we will be following it. To the right are some links to help you follow it as well. You'll be glad you did!
