The race just started yesterday with the restart and I’m just curious who else might be reading along with the mushers this year. Anyone?
We end up reading more ‘miles’ than the mushers travel each year so it is a great time for odds and ends, and narration, and so many other reading/spelling/literature items we’ve neglected. We do many “Trail Breaker” reports and enjoy learning about the mushers and the towns along the race route.
In fact if anyone is interested, check out our district’s homepage for some tips and ideas: http://www.ideafamilies.org/iditaread/
Maybe it is just a crazy Alaska thing, but we are Iditarod junkies! 🙂
