NASCAR for the North West LOL
Yep If Nascar ever saved any lives .. did it?
Maybe someone here would remember. One year when it looked especially likely that the idiots who wanted to stop the Iditarod were winning, and they were making bold claims that this mode of transportation is simply not needed, the very same place as in the legend of the Iditarod had another epidemic and the trains were snowed in, the planes couldn't fly there, etc. I think there were other towns involved too. Anyway, the only ones that could reach them, despite that it's an outdated mode of travel, were the dog mushers and they saved a lot of lifes at risk to their own .. thereby putting aside the objections that they were not needed and, at the same time, the insinuations that they were nothing like the hearty men who had originally made the trek at breakneck speed.and that they could never do it themselves except with pit stops, etc.
That is what I remember .. and I don't claim to have gotten everything correct either. I don't remember when it happened though or what the epidemic was, etc. Does anyone here remember it more detailed, maybe know a good link to read up about it?
