http://www.iditarod.com they have the camera in place and will be streaming it online for anyone who is an insider (I'm not, dude I have local news stations lol)

should be exciting, and unless some freak accident happens it looks like Lance Mackey will finally win it!

Thanks for the info.
For $19.95 I can watch, but I'm too cheap to pay. Maybe somebody can record and post the finish?

ETA: Wait! Is this webcam on the finish? http://www.guilliam.com/alaska.htm

That's the webcam, but here's a bigger image of it: http://home.gci.net/~cityofnome/704x480.html

I love this thread! I think that this webcam is how I got interested in watching the Iditarod in the first place. I wish they would show it on TV. They show a synopsis on OLN, last year I think it was narrated by none other than Al Trautwig. So, instead of feeling like you're watching a sporting event, it's like an endless beginning of coverage or back-from-commercial-break-but-not-quite-back-to-the-actual-event story that we have to endure while watching skating competitions.

The fun thing about the webcam is that you can check it at any time of day, and if there are people standing around the finish line, you know someone is about to come in.

Lance Mackey is Iditarod 35's champ! Congrats to him

they're still waiting on Paul Gebhart to cross, if he didn't in the last few minutes...

Buser and King and Steer will probably be in early tomorrow...
