The Iditarod

I realize that the Iditarod has nothing to do with fishing, but it is interesting nonetheless. These pics were taken in Anchorage, the town where I live.

Dallas Seavey won the race this year. This is one of his dogs!

More of the Seavey dogs! They are ready to go! The City of Anchorage didn't need to put much snow on the streets this year for this event!

This is Dallas Seavey, this year's winner. He is a nice guy. I talked to him for several minutes this day. His father and grandfather also ran the race against him.

I couldn't resist taking this photo. This is such a cool carving. Look at the belly on this thing!

This dog screams, "LET ME OUT!"

The official starting line!

And there off!

This was an exciting day going to the Ceremonial Launch of Iditarod 2012!
