Gr8 Payton! For The Iditarod Trail I have: Both parts of the trail are parts of the Iditarod National Historical Trail, and in the beggining, they only traveled the northern trail. For Dropped Dogs I have: They are ALWAYS loved on and #2 is they are wrapped up in blankets. For Mushing Words I have: Its like they have a new language:) and HEET is the name of an achohol.

I learned that during the early years of the Iditarod Race, the mushers only used the northern trail and the northern villages of Ruby, Galena and Nulato only had to deal with the large group of mushers, press, and volunteers every other year. I also learned that if a dog is dropped at a checkpoint closer to the Anchorage, the dog flies in an Iditarod Air Force plane to Anchorage, staying just outside the Milliennium Hotel on the bank of Lake Hood where the musher's handlers from the kennel pick the dog up and that after a careful deplaning, the dogs are individually walked to and tethered to a chain that runs along a split rail fence. The last two things I learned was, Gee means right and Haw means left and HEET is the name of an alcohol-based fuel the mushers use to very quickly heat the water in their cookers to prepare their dog's food and their own food. I really liked the articles!!

Ileand about the pathess.1. This decision had a three fold effect. The northern villages of Ruby, Galena and Nulato only had to deal with the large group of mushers, press, and volunteers every other year. The second effect was that the race was able to pass through the actual ghost town of Iditarod. Lastly, the villages of Shageluk, Anvik, and Grayling were able to participate in the race

the decision that they woould have the northern trail and the southern trail had a three fold effect. The northern villages of Ruby, Galena and Nulato only had to deal with the large group of mushers, press, and volunteers every other year. The second effect was that the race was able to pass through the actual ghost town of Iditarod. Lastly, the villages of Shageluk, Anvik, and Grayling were able to participate in the race.

the dog bedded down on straw, fed, and blanketed, if the dog appears to enjoy a blanket, the dropped dogs gets lots of rubbing and loving from the dropped dog volunteers. Dogs who haven’t been able to be picked up on the day of arrival get to travel by dog truck to a women’s prison outside of Anchorage where inmates who have earned the privilege of working with the dogs care for them until they go home to their kennels.

When a dog is dropped from a team, the paperwork trail begins, recorded by the veterinarians. The dog’s identity, its symptoms and diagnosis, and the type of care it needs are written down and the paperwork follows the dog all the way back to Anchorage. If a dog is dropped at a checkpoint closer to Anchorage, the dog flies in an Iditarod Air Force plane to Anchorage, staying just outside the Millennium Hotel, on the bank of Lake Hood where the musher’s handlers from the kennel pick the dog up. Or, further along the trail, the dropped dogs are flown to the hubs of McGrath, Unalakleet, or Nome, depending on which is closer to the dogs’ location. Then, the dogs end up in Anchorage.

Gee and haw are directional voice commands. The teams are directed by these commands instead of reins. Gee means right, haw means left.

Another item a musher can get from a checkpoint is straw, as in a bale of straw to make dog beds when the team camps out somewhere outside of a checkpoint. Dogs rest on straw in a checkpoint, too. The plastic-wrapped bales of straw arrived at checkpoints before the race start, compliments of the Iditarod Air Force
