In a few years when we read about the Iditarod, we'll have to pay attention for a dog named "Sebago." When we were in Seward, we went to a tourist attraction (aka tourist
trap) that the Seavey family hosts. It features a two-mile "sled" ride, some dogs that are training to become Iditarod sled dogs, and a 'meet and greet' with the dogs and a few of their adorable puppies. The attraction also features a talk about the training routine for the race as well as the special care of the dogs. It's an interesting way to spend a few hours. At the end of the ride which they call "Ididaride," guests can suggest names for the puppies in training. I suggested "Sebago." Hope they like that name. I think it has a nice ring to it. Good time!
Seward which happens to be Mile 0 for the Iditarod, has some amazing scenery. Our campground was nothing to write home about, but the scenery is.
We also cheered on the salmon as they swam and jumped upstream. It's a riot. I took a video; you can hear us cheering the salmon upriver. I wonder is they ever had cheerleaders before.
We are fortunate that we are enjoying sparking days. The last time we were in Seward, the clouds surrounded the mountains like a string of pearls. This trip the mountains are jumping out at us.
