The Starting Line in Anchorage

---

The first Saturday in March is the beginning of the Iditarod Dog Sled Race. This happens in downtown Anchorage. The dogsleds with musher and one guest rider (who pays between $500 and $3000 for the "privilege" of freezing...), take off down the middle of 4th street. If there's not enough snow they truck it in. The start in Anchorage is actually for the tourists who don't want to venture farther up into Alaska. And for the press. They have a local TV station and a local radio station set up for live feeds of the start. And then, of course, they have me...
