This article tells about the reason that people needed to use the Idiatrod trail. If not for this trail, then the disease of diphtheria would have been spread even further. We must also thank brave Balto and his team for pushing their sled as hard as they could, and saving the entire town of Nome. This is an important event in out nations history, and everyone should know how it began.

Racers start at Anchorage and finish in Nome. It also isn't strictly a 9 day race. It can take from nine to twelve days. The race starts at 10:00 am and even if you don't win you get a sum of money.

This is important because this dog played a very important role in helping the people of Nome. Balto is one of the main reasons that the sled containing the diphtheria vaccination got to the town of Nome. Balto led the team through thick and thin and pushed them on wards toward the town. We can thank this brave dog for saving the town. ]]> 2017-05-09 20:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/170873122 (CTS) schulc20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171108113 This picture is important because it shows that  Diphtheria can be spread throughout the body. The disease is usually located in the throat but if left untreated it can spread farther and become more serious. This sickness travels by using passages that connect glands to other major areas. This is why it is always important to treat Diptheria as early as possible, ]]> 2017-05-10 19:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171108113 (CJS) Iditarod Video schnec20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171108656 This video is important because it shows what it would be like to travel on the trail. ]]> 2017-05-10 19:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171108656 (AB) The Trail bilita20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171108860 It is important to also know what the Iditarod trail was also used for. Before being the famous trail for racing, it was just a normal trail. Back in the early 1700's there was only one way of transportation in Alaska, and that was by sled. This trial was used to carry supplies, go from town to town, and hunting. After being cleared by the government in 1908, it was rarely used, until in 1910 gold was found.

Checkpoints are important for the dogs to rest and eat. I guess they are also important for the humans, but they aren't doing nearly as much work as the dogs are.

The video shows that some stretches of the trail can be very difficult to maneuver. I also found out that there are a lot of dogs on these sleds. Which would only make it more difficult to navigate the trails. ]]> 2017-05-10 20:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171112536 (AB) Picture of Sled Dog Team bilita20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171145554 This picture of a sled and it's team of dogs pulling it, is an example of what would have been on the Iditarod trail. These dogs worked hard in cold weather, and had to pull a big sled through lots of snow, and rough weather. As you can see in this picture, big dogs with warm coats were perfect dogs to use to pull the sleds. These dogs delivered supplies, mail, and many more important items. Going by sled was one of the only way to get to places in Alaska, so this trail was used very frequently to get around. ]]> 2017-05-11 01:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171145554 (ES) Safety Checkpoint storle20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171321700 This is a picture of the checkpoint at Safety. The Safety checkpoint is the last checkpoint in the Iditarod race. It is very important because once the racers reach the checkpoint at safety, they know they are very close to finishing the whole race. The Safety checkpoint is approximately 22 miles away from the final destination of Nome. ]]> 2017-05-11 17:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171321700 (ES) White Mountain to Safety storle20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171323102 One of the hardest parts of the Iditarod Trail is one of the final stretches from White Mountain to Safety.

Raw paw occurs when a paw is constantly irritated, and can lead to rash-like skin on a dog's paw. ]]> 2017-05-11 17:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171326132 (CJS) Sled Dogs schnec20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171351457 The Iditarod could not be done with out these dogs. They are highly trained and very very conditioned. These dogs are insane and I don't know how they do it. Some have died along the way but many have become champions. Many racers say its about the dogs. They are the ones that win the race.

As you can see this is the route that the teams took to bring to the serum to the townspeople. The teams had to start all the way from Anchorage and go to Nome, which is 537 miles. This was a very long trail to travel for one dog team. Instead of having just one team make the whole trip, they had a relay of dog teams to make this journey. These dogs had to travel through the cold snow and had to do it faster than ever because the case was so urgent  ]]> 2017-05-11 19:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171358680 (ES) Trail Description storle20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171359284 Going into the race, it is very important for racers to know what they are up against.

It tells how the trail was used to bring the cure to Nome. The townspeople of Nome were not even allowed to leave their houses in fear of getting diphtheria. Instead of having one sled team go the entire 537 miles, the teams made a relay to carry the serum. The sled dogs traveled 125 miles a day, running five times faster than normal. Togo and Balto were one of the leaders of the dog teams that really pushed their teams, and made it possible for them to make it to Nome in the time that they did. ]]> 2017-05-12 11:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171455254 (AB) Iditarod and the Gold Rush bilita20 https://padlet.com/bilita20/s8nnvajr0hot/wish/171495801 In this article they talk about the Alaskan gold rush. The Iditarod trail was used by miners when they were mining for gold. There was really no other way to get around other than by dog and sled. Trails such as the Iditarod trail, were very important in everyone's daily lives. In this article it also talks about where the trail goes and what towns it run through and to. A few of these towns are boom towns, which are towns that were 'booming' during the gold rush, but now are ghost tows, because there was no more gold left.
