Today was the ceremonial start of the Iditarod, which in Anchorage. The official start is tomorrow in Willow, Alaska.
The actual race is 1049 miles and finishes in Nome.
The race has entries from those who have ran it more then 20 times to those who are young and this is their first year.
There were, of course, many beautiful dogs.
Though some looked like they would much rather just stay in their hay beds.

hi teresa! i happened to run into your blog and i was wondering what made you move to Alaska. i've been trying to go there for over 5 years... but i'm all the way on the other side of the country.
anyway, i enjoyed your pictures and i hope you're having a good time there.
must be hard to live with all that snow when you lived so long in sunny california.
have a great week and God bless...

Hi Teresa! I just saw your link on Ryan's blog and had no idea you were in Alaska! It sounds like you have been having quite the adventure. Whatever made you decide to move up there? Looks like a beautiful place. Take care!

Yikes! It looks way to cold up there. I just read about that race with my 5th grade reading class. We never have snow in Saipan and they thought that dog sled races sounded cool.
when are you going to Yap? Have FUN! Wish we could go too! xo
