Well I hate the idea of everyone dressing the same. We express the way we are by the way we dress. If everyone dressed the same we’d all be the same no one would have there own style and they couldn’t express the way they are. If you take that away we have nothing who are we if we are all the same because we wouldn’t be ourselves. If we wore the same clothes we wouldn’t know who is who it would be so confusing!!

I’d love to go visit Alaska because it sounds like a great place to visit. I think it would be so cool if I could be a musher and be able to go on a sled pulled by sled dogs. If you ask me it would be really cool even if I froze my fingers or my toes. On the Iditarod the weather was 40 degrease Celsius. Which is very cold. There is lots of deep snow you have to watch out for if the snow is too deep and to soft the dogs will have a harder time getting through the snow. You have to go around and though mountain passes. You also have to make sure you have enough food for the dogs because at the rate the dogs run the need all the protean they can get.
Every year more than 20 dog teams race from Anchorage to Nome. The race is called the Iditarod. In 1925 Nome needed medicine for the children because almost all children had a disease called diphtheria. Diphtheria is a deathly disease the symptoms are coughing and fevers. At first they tried to send it by ship but the ship got caught in the ice and couldn’t get though so they tried sending it by plane. The plane was grounded because of the storm and so the train was there last hope so when the train got to Nenanan the team of dogs were waiting for the medicine. On there way back the storm got them lost. So a dog by the name of Balto when to find them on his own when he found them he led them back home and got the medicine there just in time for the children. From 1900- 1973
1900-1940- mail hauled by dog sled
1925-Serum run (Nenanan-Nome) 647 miles
1946- The fur rendezvous world championship dog sled race 25 miles a day for several days
1946-The open North American dog sled race
1967-Two short races
1972- Sled racing Alaska state sport
1973- First race to Nome
And now here’s a poem!!

Well I hope you learned something reading my little story type thing and one of the reasons I would love to visit Alaska is because I think it would be so much fun to go visit another state because it’s just a little bit more of the world I’d get to see!!

Right now Matt Calore is in 59th place and he has 14 dogs he’s on his way to Kaltag and so far he’s doing great. Go Matt Calore You’re the best!!

Well at the moment Matt Calore is in 59th place. He has 10 dogs he has lost 10 dogs and has passed both his 8 hour and 24 hour rest points he has left Galena and is on his way to Nulato. Hope he has a good race I’ll be in later for an update.

well he's in 62nd place now and he's only lost 2 dogs along the way he's resting in Ophir.

If I could meet anyone from the past I would probably meet my friends in Choiceland and my Uncle Earl. I want to meet my friends in Choiceland because we had so much fun together before I move back here. I want to meet my Uncle Earl because he passed away Tuesday March 4/07.I miss him a lot the last time I saw him we were at my grandmother’s house eating cake for my Aunt Jackie’s birthday!!
Or Miley Cyrus. Because I love her music!!

ok. Well, here it is, my musher is in resting in Mc Grath position 67 and he has 12 dogs now and Matt Calore was in 60th place last check point!!

Matt Calore is in the 60th place right now. He is in Nikolai resting.

Well I love cleaning the living room with my sisters because when we clean. We turn up the music and dance while we pick up. Every now and then my little brother comes in and dances with us. We all laugh and have fun. It’s so cute when he does the wiggle that’s how he dances. We take turns dancing with him. Most of the time while we’re dancing we look like complete idiots but we have fun.
