According to my source, the start of the Iditarod has been changed to March 2 and the location moved from Anchorage to Fairbanks...all due to lack of snow. In fact, a few days ago it was 33 (ABOVE) in FAI. Reportedly, all hotels/motels in FAI are fully booked for Iditarod.

I have long-standing plans to be there during that time for aurora viewing, and am very excited at the unexpected chance to see the Iditarod start. However, I'm scheduled to arrive at 1:30 AM and am wondering if my cheapo motel might rent out my room, in spite of its being guaranteed with credit card. Is this a reasonable concern? Any chance my rental car might similarly disappear?

I'd rather not spend the night sleeping in the snow.
