Rookie Joe Taylor started off the day and was then followed by long time legend, Martin Buser. While waiting for Martin to pull in, his wife was telling people in the chute how she …
Today is a day that I will not soon forget. I got to meet the 2022 Winter Education Conference attendees, I spent a lot of time with former Teachers on the Trail™, and then I attended a special banquet for the “Old Iditarod Gang”. This event was geared to those who were involved in the …
