Images for the 2011 Iron Dog route through the Tanana Flats, Chena Flood Project and the Chena River to downtown Fairbanks. This is going to add 66 miles to the race and make for a better finish. Share on Facebook

So the first snow has come and gone and I figured there won’t be a better time to buy a new trail/freight sled then now, so I did. And she’s pretty, but heavier than any thing I have ever owned before. Now if the snow would just stick and build up a few feet I’ll more »

The Iron Dog has a new directory, Kevin Kastner and I for one think he’ll do a good job. Of course both the Daily Miner and Anchorage Daily News posted articles on his hire and the negative idiots have crawled out of the wood works. Kevin made mention that he’d like to see the Iron more »

Well it was a quiet trip for me. I stayed near Paxson in the motorhome and was about 12 miles south of the main Arcticman Camp. I rather enjoyed it that way, no roudy partying going and it was a short one mile ride to the lodge. Biggest disappointment of the whole trip was not more »
