A look at the elements and events that come into view from where I'm standing...

... the stuff that matters in this life. Some flicker and are gone in a matter of hours
only to live in memory, others become life long travelling companions, never far from reach.

Iditarod.com

Today I found the Iditarod web site and the flood gates have opened!

What a wealth of information. It’s amazing. Did you know that it’s –18C in Anchorage today? Brrrrrrr. There’s lists of who’s competing this year (100 mushers), the official rules – (if you kill a moose in self defense while on the trail, you have to stop and skin it. And any other team that comes upon you has to help). And most importantly, a volunteer application form. But, I may already be too late. I guess I should’ve dreamed up this little dream of mine a month ago, because ideally they want applications in by the end of December. But all is not lost. I’ll fill it out and get it in and hope for the best.

Wish me luck, and come March I could be up to my elbows in yapping mutts trying to wrangle teams into the starting shoot on 4th Ave and D st.
