Iditarod 34!

The Iditarod has begun! Who are you pulling for?

We have our favorites for many reasons (some better than others) and here they are:

Jeff King and Martin Buser. These guys we have followed for awhile and are always on our favorites list. Superboy keeps an 8X10 of Buser and his dog  K2 in his notebook. Now that the race has begun, the picture is up on the wall.

Lori Townsend: We chose to pull for her because one of her lead dogs looks just like our dog, Cassie. Plus, she is from Willow where we spent a summer, so it's our Alaska "hometown".

David Sawatsky: We like the looks of his dogs, especially one called "Darth". Gotta love a dog named Darth...

It should be an exciting race, whoever wins.

We are rooting for Rachael Scdoris and Gary Paulsen. Rachael is from Oregon, like us, and we love Gary Paulsens books.

How did you find out more about the dogs? We haven't been able to figure it out from the Iditarod webpage.

After three tries (I kept losing the post) I have a post about the race on my blog too. We have followed this race for years now. Once again we will rooting for Dee Dee Jonrowe. What an amazing woman! We are hoping this will finally be her year. We are also following Gary Paulsen, a favorite children's author of ours. We have a few of his books that are about the Iditarod. Sadly, another favorite is no longer mushing as he retired after last year's race, Charlie Boulding, but we will be thinking of him as we watch the race. Glad to know we have such great company as we journey to Nome! :))

Hi! I read this on the Catholic news site and it reminded me of you:

It's about a Catholic musher!
