Here it is.. the Last Great Race known for 32 years as the Iditarod. From Anchorage to Nome, the Iditarod race has teams of dogsledders mushing from Anchorage to Nome making the equivilent of traveling from the south right corner of Missouri, USA to the center of South Dakota, USA.

here's the banner..

Wow those are awesome pics did you actually take these yourself? If so good job man! BTW did you grow up in Alaska or did you and your family move there form somewhere else?

[mthq]

YUP! those are my pics! I just had to surprise you by finishing up on my camera on the eve of the Iditarod

and yes, I was born and raised in Anchorage all my life. My dad first came up in 1952 i believe along with his sister who opened the first mexican restaurant in Anchorage which is the La Cabana

^Wow thats awesome do you folks still own the restaurant?

BTW the images arent showing up now?

Yea that sucks, might have to explain how to fix it!

I'm getting a bunch of Red X's. That could be the school's computer blocking the site the images are linked from though .

[urbanguy]

They were cool pictures too...anyhow i think the problem might be because he's using Angelfire to host the pics?

That might be the problem. I'm at home now & I still can't see them .

[urbanguy]

How long is the Iditarod race - and do they dogs get a break at nights, etc. to rest? I imagine that if it takes place on a highway it's going to cause serious transportation problems due to the lack of roads in Alaska - but I guess nto, because there's no road connection to Nome.

[mthq]

I'm gonna be on the case guys.. first I got to get over some personal issues before I focus on my Iditarod pics.

MARK - Angelfire says I violated either #14 or #15 on their Terms of Agreement.

[urbanguy]

^I figured something was going on it seemed unusual for you to not stop by every now and then. Well i hope it gets better! We can wait til you have the time to repost them or whatever!

[M II A II R II K]

What were they, probably a screw up or something.

[Wendell FOX]

Sorry to hear about your personal issues mthq - take care.

[M. Brown]

If you uploaded all the pix and is still having trouble I could do the rest of the code, as long as the pix are already uploaded.
