Here's the latest article from the Alaska site at BellaOnline.com. I know, I know ... it's about time! It is March and the official Iditarod Sled Dog race started this morning!

IDITAROD! How It All Began
The Iditarod is Alaska's most famous sporting and outdoor event! Alaska's "Last Great Race"; this 1250+ mile long sled dog race runs along the Iditarod National Historic Trail from its "Ceremonial Start" in Anchorage to the exciting finish in Nome. Over 70 competitors and more than 1100 sled dogs!

I will be actively following the Iditarod sled dog race as it progresses. I hope you join me on the Alaska forum. We can root for our favorite mushers, keep up to date on where they are at and maybe even learn something new about Alaska's Last Great Race! Hope to see you there.

Let's keep in touch, either in the forum by responding to this email message. I thrive on your feedback and enjoy hearing from you!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge! The race is on!
