Iditarod

The Iditarod started over the weekend. They have a rather interesting "ceremonial" start in Anchorage followed by a restart in Willow which is just up the Parks highway. I just followed the Yukon Quest which is a 1000 mile dog race from Fairbanks to Canada and the Iditarod is the other big race up here in Alaska. Anyway, I was just looking on the Iditarod website and they actually have GPS trackers on all the racers this year so you can see where each one is on the trail. I thought it was pretty neat-o so I thought I'd post the link for all you closet mushers out there. You do have to register to see the map (at least I did), but I can't imagine getting spammed from a sled dogger. Here's the link.
