Iditarod 2012

This Saturday the 2012 Iditarod Dog Sled Race Started off in Anchorage, Alaska. We will be doing a few fun activities this week to celebrate the once a year race.

This year the mushers are following the North Trail. They alternate between the North and South yearly. More info can be found here at the new website: http://iditarod.com/

Our friends over at You're Not Lost, You're Here have a great listing of things to do during the race: http://jkcck.blogspot.com/2012/03/eiditarod-2012-is-almost-here.html

We are going to track our mushers using charts and our brand new map given to us by our friends!

Our Mushers:
Rohn Buser - Mr. Monkey's pick
Karin Henderickson - Little Miss' Pick
Hank Debruin - from Ontario Yay! - Mine

We are also going to make these for an artsy type thing, using the word Alaska: http://www.thatartistwoman.org/2012/02/how-to-make-acrostic-book.html
