40 Years of Iditarod

Great little trivia blog post put on by Iditarod.com - http://iditarodblogs.com/news/2011/11/11/remembering-40-years-of-iditarod/

No one even expected the first race to be successful, I don't think anyone that year thought it'd be here forty years later! Just a few months till Race Day! I can't wait!

Thanks for the link, Tonichelle. I'll read it when I get the time. Congrats to Alaska.

just as an FYI, because of the spammers that hit on this post a few weeks ago, I'm not going to be giving anymore updates on the race on teh boards - just like the last couple of years I will be covering it on my blog: http://tonichelle.blogspot.com I've already started covering the roster and any other tidbits on the race. I'm also covering the Yukon Quest which is the second longest race in Alaska and the only one to cross the border into Canada. I'm not an "expert" by any means, but I know enough to be dangerous lol
