Lets get into the race & the people. My favorite Mushers are Aliy Zirkle & Dee Dee Jonrowe. These ladies are my heros. They are great examples of two ladies that give it there all & take the best care of there dogs huskeys, muttskeys whatever. You can read about the 2005 race on Iditrod.com. It is a great site & it covers the trail they all took, pictures of them feeding their dogs. " Mush on my friends of the North"
