Details on the 2009 Iditarod Storm

Was really nice to catch this story in the Daily News Miner
http://newsminer.com/news/2009/mar/29/iditarod-mushers-recall-storm-bound-ordeal/

While I'm not impressed with how the Iditarod handled the situation I commend the mushers involved in the ordeal many, many times over.

Its interesting how small our town can be. Robert, Kathy and I met musher Darst's handlers at a gas station on our way out to Jasin's place for our run. And Matray is a musher I met a while back when he started the Sled Dog Fund and needed a logo. We continue to support Matray's efforts through his fund raising auctions and will be donating more merchandise to him this year.

His website is at: www.sleddogfund.org
