Iditarod Trail

Away up in Alaska

The state that stands alone

There’s a dog race run from Anchorage into Nome

And it’s a grueling race with a lightning pace

Where chilly winds do wail.

Beneath the northern lights, across snow and ice

It’s called the Iditarod Trail.

Well, give me a team and a good lead dog and a sled that’s built so fine,

And let me race those miles to Nome, one thousand forty-nine

Then when I get back to my home

Hey I can tell my tale

I did, I did I did the Iditarod Trail.

Well the race it won’t be easy

For the masters of the trail

And some of them will make it and some of them will fail

But just to run that race takes a tough and hardy breed,

And a lot of work done by the dogs

that run across snow with whistling speed.

I just pulled out of Safety

And I’m on the trail alone

I’m doin’ fine and I’m pickin’ up time

And headin’ on in to Nome.

There’s no sled tracks in front of me

And no one’s on my tail

I did, I did, I did the Iditarod Trail!

Pretty sure Jeff knows this song completely by heart. It's fantastic. We had a sweet lunch at the House of Bread and a great adventure to the iditarod headquarters. Even though it's one building, a pen of puppies, and a trail for the sled dogs. It was neat. 
$30 later. We thoroughly enjoyed our ride and our afternoon :)
