Kim Slade, Wells Fargo Teacher on the Trail™
March 8 — "Probably the most exciting thing I did today was hike down the trail with Jeff Shultz to wait for some teams to pass. We had our spotter Danny in the air and when he announced that not one, but two teams were heading our way, we got into position. The first team to pass by was Martin Buser, with Jeff King following close behind! WOW!! What a treat!! " Read more.

March 6 2007 Iditarod

Snowflake was born in the village of McGrath. A fine little village where you can leave your keys in the car, where you can find them. The people of the area are friendly and welcoming.
The school has 12 rooms, one for each grade. A grocery store. A gas pump and a couple of bunkhouses, not hotels. Takotna and Nikoli are near by.

More Iditarod

I think I have had a long day. The dogs have had a longer one. It is a fun time for all, the dogs, the people in the villages, the volunteers. Some of the mushers will travel through the night. Some will go to sleep. Thats what I am about to do. Enjoy!

Second day of Iditarod

Today Sunday is the second day of the great race,The Iditarod.
The first race took 2 weeks, now it may only take 9 days. Time goes by so fast even in the cold, before one know, the race will be over. I spend 7 years in McGrath and every year I would enjoy the race. Seeing new volunteers, but mainly the many return volunteers. I meet two woman one year, who came from California. They would leave their lives in California and each year go to the next Iditarod check point, starting of course in Anchorage. So in time they would have been to every check point.Started in Anchorage and end in Nome. What a vacation! Not sure what their jobs were, but at check the points there is always something to do.
Then there were the pilots who would volunteer their time and planes. To get up at 6:30 every morning to transport, dog sleds, dog and human food, hay, stoves, gear etc, to out lying areas. It was always a busy 3 weeks for them. Starting a week before the other volunteers.
