The Anchorage Daily News reports on the official start of the Iditarod, which is more of a pre-race parade. The racing actually begins tomorrow at the re-start in Willow.
Two areas to watch are around Rainy Pass because of all of the fresh snow on the trail, and then between Nikolai and McGrath because of a large increase in moose in the area. While trail conditions are better than yesterday, they can change with a snow storm or a wind shift.

Wow….look at all those names for the Palin family to choose from for their next broods….
cookie jill´s last blog post..environmental news stories sunday
One of the weird things about that situation is that for the most part only new immigrants to Alaska do it [it is very common, BTW] Old Timers and most Native Alaskans stay with mainstream names.
I remember the invasion of non-standard names from the counter-culture that seems to persist among celebrities. Hey, if millionaire hotel families can name children after cities, why not Alaskan oil field workers?
