Behind the Scenes at the Ceremonial Start



On Saturday, Mrs. B and I took a different approach to watching the start this year. Mrs. B had planned to handle for Angie Taggert but things did not come together so we spent some time behind the scenes. It was really foggy downtown Saturday morning.

Lots of dogs waiting.

Dogs waiting to get ready to go.
Team Dee Dee. Dee Dee Jonrowe is running her 31st Iditarod.
She and her mom are both breast cancer survivors.
Be sure to check out Mrs. B's Team Dee hat.
 The first musher out, Martin Buser, #2, had to park the furthest way so they have to "walk" the dogs a few blocks to the starting shoot. Each team has a handler who holds a leash to help get the team to the start.
