Iditarod – Day 4
The leading third are playing “pinball” on The Burn, second-growth forest from a major wildfire. The recent snow has helped to provide more cushions, but this is an area known for smashing sleds and mushers. The new growth also attracts moose, who are a danger to dogs and mushers as they will use the trail and often will rest on it. [Update 10:30PM CST]
