Synopsis: "Iditarod: The Great Race to Nome" is the definitive story of the Iditarod, the Alaskan dogsled race that has been run for over a century--told in a series of brisk inviting stories by Bill Sherwont and fully illustrated with color photographs by Jeff Schultz that includes updated information through the 2018 race.

THIS second to the last of my featured 'Netflix Losers Documentary' series athletes is many-time dogsled race contender Aliy Zirkle.

The Dagleys will be joined by several husky foster and adoptive parents and their dogs for dogsled demonstrations.

Gunnar Kaasen arrives in Nome, AK, on dogsled (led by the famed Siberian husky Balto), carrying diphtheria serum from Bluff.

His ability to marshal capital for dangerous and uncertain missions like dogsled trips to the North Pole or dirigible flights across the Atlantic evinces both daring and cunning.

As President Harry Truman stated: "The buck stops here." Or as a winner of the Iditarod dogsled race so aptly put it: "If you're not the lead dog, the view is the same."

Initiatives ranged from epic canoe trips and dangerous dogsled treks to bathtub races.

"The Fly Fisherman's Bucket List" is an ideal guide for fishing trips with benefit of advice and counsel from a true-outdoors person like Slim Randles--who has packed mules in the High Sierra, competed as a roper and bulldogger in rodeo, guided hunters in Alaska and New Mexico, and drove a team in the first Iditarod Dogsled Race.

Other chapters explore the backgrounds of the palace Pekingese of the Empress Dowager Cixi; Togo and Balto, the dogsled heroes who brought the diphtheria antitoxin serum to Nome, Alaska; Buddy, North America's first guide dog; and military dogs such as Stubby, a rescue dog who ended up serving overseas in World War I.

"For you to fully experience the magnificence of the place, you need to get on a helicopter, or in a kayak, or on a dogsled. You need to put on your hiking boots and maybe even spend the night in a tent."

For example, at one point in her iMovie, Tara stated that some of the skills needed to drive a dogsled such as confidence, patience, determination, and good communication were also important for her personal well-being with friends and family.
