Susan Butcher created a short documentary that I watched about caring for and training the dogs.
We ordered it from the AEA. It was one of the first things we did when we started learning more
about the Iditarod this year in school.
Here is a link to her memorial website:

Mackey Wins 2010 Iditarod!
I became an "Insider" two weeks ago...that means my parents purchased a membership to a site where I would have exclusive access to information, photos, and video. I also could see the race via GPS tracking.
It was fun to check on the race periodically throughout the day and evening. My teacher even let me check it at school!
One of the things I learned was the Lance Mackey was also in the Yukon Quest.

Carter's Bio
This is my Talented and Gifted project.
My interest in the Iditarod started because I have a love of dogs. When I was in Kindergarten
our school studied the Iditarod and chose a musher to follow in each class. We chose Paul Gebhart.
Last year we followed Lance Mackey and he won!
This year I will follow Lance Mackey and am excited for the race to begin.
I hope Lance wins! It would be his 5th time winning the Iditarod.
Someday I hope to go there. My grandmother, a former teacher, has offered to take me!
