OFFICIAL START OF THE IDITAROD 2022 FROM WILLOW, ALASKA

Beautiful day in Willow---37 degrees with a bright blue sky. The dogs prefer colder weather but I am certain they will get it soon. 

All went well and 50 mushers are now out on the trail to YENTNA 42 miles. I will have a report of the standings as we get into the race. Here are a few pictures I took from my computer. The more professional ones will be later tonight or tomorrow.
