Okay, look at this photo and all the stuff going on.  Check out the spectators, check out the dogs, and check out the musher.

Iditarod Live: The Sled Blog : Day 5: Lanier’s gold: a dog for him or bling for her? | adn.com.

How are dudes (and dudettes) doin?

Jim Lanier has fallen off the lead after taking the $3,000 in gold nuggets offered for being the first musher to the halfway point.  He is taking it easy and figuring out how to spend the loot – a new lead dog or some bling for his wife.  Tough choice!

Matt Failor: holding steady at the back of the pack in Ophir. Ah!  And, I see that Matt is working with 4 time iditarod champion, Martin Buser.

Seeing Double Sisters: Kristy Berington and Anna Berington: 49 and 50th place out of  Ophir and completed the 24 hour layover.

Dan Seavey: Has got the iditarod’s 6.  His son and grandson are rockin way up front.  I hope that he is relaxed and breathing easy back there. I hope he is enjoying the ride and teaching us all a lesson in life.  Perhaps you can meet him on a dog sled tour at his place near Seward
