Iditahazard

Here's a cool picture that PB forwarded to me. It appeared in a newspaper story recently in the Juneau Empire.

According to the story, a young woman training for the Junior Iditarod was out running her dog team on the road just outside of Nome when they came upon a herd of musk ox crossing the road. As you can see, the oxen were annoyed and at least one ox charged some of the dogs. A couple dogs had minor injuries, but the woman and her friend the photographer were able to get the dogs back and away safely. As part of the training, the dogs were pulling her truck, so the women jumped out and put all of these dogs in the truck bed and drove off. Never a dull moment in Nome!
