Lloyd, Have a safe trip. I have always admired the Ididtarod participants and their dogs. Enjoy your time up north.

PC:  I have never been there when the race started, but have left out of Wasilla a couple of times on hunts with the then Willow Air with Dennis Thacker.  On the way up there on the highway there was a saloon from the old days.  Dirt floor with peanut shells inches deep and a sign that said One Dollar fine for putting peanut shells in the butt cans!!  You will enjoy it!  Joe

There will be a hugh crowd for the race.  I don't remember the name of the saloon, but it was right along the highway on the right a few miles out of Wasilla.  You will have a great time!  Joe
