Looks like the weather's on their side this year. Very little snow in the forecast and temps just cold enough to keep the ground frozen. Should be a good race.

First time really thinking about this contest. Though I always found it quite impressive for its courage and perseverance, that was it. Yet there is, I feel, something uniquely American about it. This nation practically from its inception, inspired by the liberties we then alone enjoyed, have more or less been in Iditarod for two hundred years. The freedom we enjoy here gives us a spirit to push the limits and challenge any obstacle. We are born to be adventurers and path-finders by the inculcation of this "great experiment" what we may be when allowed to be.
