Iditarod - Mush - Mush

 When in Alaska... The school's spring breaks in our district align with when the Iditarod mushers will be coming through/near their village. So for spring break we took a trip to Nome, Alaska to see the end of the race!

The finish line!

Our first musher! They come right down Front Street right past cars driving and people standing on the sidelines.

There they go! To the finish line!

As soon as they go through the finish line, people just walk right up and start petting the dogs. The mushers look over their dogs and start interviewing.

Me and Mike with the dogs in the background : )

Mike wants one...

Look how close they are!

I think it was this musher that was giving out high fives as they rode past.

Deep snow.
