Here she is! Happy crossing the finish line in Nome and getting some very special attention! I regret to report that I do not yet have any video of the actual smooch! While I was busy smooching Happy’s bottom, Aliy was using my camera to catch the still shots. If … Read More
Here is Allen finishing the 2009 Iditarod with his team of young racers!
In this part of Aliy’s “Live” video from the Iditarod Trail, the team cruises up the Yukon River at dawn then heads toward the coast from Kaltag. I think you will agree that she provides us with some fantastic commentary, despite the fact that the dogs seem to get a … Read More

As I’m packing up and preparing to move my base of operations to Nome in the morning, I’m also wrapping up the last — but not least — of my Pre-Race coverage in Anchorage. Last Friday, SP Kennel sponsors Hawthorn Suites hosted a “Meet & Greet” with Aliy, Allen and … Read More
Okay! Here’s the last of the “stuff” from my time in Takotna, where the teams took their mandatory 24-hour rest. You’ve already seen my “interview” with Aliy, so I’ve focused here on a little bit of the “look and feel” of the place and — most important — the great … Read More
