The Iditarod started last Saturday and we've had snow and a cold snap since then.
Now their temperatures make ours look warm ..but when the whole household has fluey colds 9 degrees f feels cold.
But at least we aren't out in minus 35...ouch

It's an even year this year so the Northern routes turn
What larks! I love the way those dogs always look like they're raring to go. I think I'd bundle up to see that intrepid bunch cross the finishing line!
ReplyDeleteWe had a little go* at dog sledding in Churchill last October (with a man who does the Iditarod every year) but I think that might be a step too far for us just yet!

You'd have to fly 540 airmiles from Anchorage to see the finish Rachel.. Nome is quite out there. see

...but it would be fun to see the finish , we've watched the start before which is good fun and only 5 mins down the road..this year the kids had fluey colds and shared..hopefully next year
Love the photos Liz..it does look fun ..I'd enter in my imagination but in reality the cold can get a bit painful!
Hope you're all feeling better. The dog racing looks a lot of fun.
