While in Alaska, we stayed in Carlo Heights with Kelly Williams for about three days, she gave us a lot of information on dogs in general and the Iditarod specifically. Aside from running a really nice B&B, she was fun to talk with, has a great sence of humor, is intelligent. She spoke openly and freely with us, suggested sights worth the visit, which restaurants to avoid and which actually serve fairly good food. She loaned me her truck and told me where to get a flat tire fixed. Ergo, the times she enters the race, I follow her progress and cheer her on from 5,000 miles away, we also do the same for Rick, right now he is in the top ten, on the Yukon and moving. I wish him well!!

One of the great spots I was in was St. George in the Pribolofs. The hotel is pretty nice and the people are fantastic. No restaurants, but you can cook in the kitchen in the lower level of the hotel. Gourmet class kitchen by the way.

with a name like seebee...
with a name like seebee...you might just have to see unalaska, out on the Aleutian chain. My uncle was a SeaBee in WWII and fought in the Aleutian campaign, he talked about it with a certain amount of nostangia but he never wanted to go back and visit.
 Had enough wind and cold the first time around. Quite a bit of history out there at the tip of the chain, and pretty thin on tourists.

Rotorhead....
Hey, I'm impressed - good guess!
 My dad was a SeaBee in WWII; and SeeBee are my initials, phonetically. So, it seemed like a usable name...Plenty of places to visit in AK & I've got some good leads from reading this site. But I don't think the Aleutian Islands will be on the top of my list! Love cold weather, snow and the outdoors, but I'm all about indoor plumbing and having good coffee in the morning! No more Iditarod? I guess you folks must be so used to it, I just find it fascinating! None of my friends here are the least bit interested...

Oh wow! I get really upset over stuff like this. I know how I feel about my dogs and if someone killed one of them because of carelessness and first degree stupidity with malice w/no thought, I would be damn furious. There are several million people in the lower 48 who know the Iditarod is going on up there, I would suspect it to be a major local event. How does someone run over a dog with a snow machine as the dog is actively participating in the event? He didn't know the race route? Didn't know dogs would be out there? Thought he would just buzz the animals just to see how they would react? Suspect I really would like to meet this guy, it would be worth the jail time.
