Hey Guys,

I'll be in ANC for the weekend of 8/30 - 9/2. My first time there, really looking forward to it. Will be staying at the Sheraton.

Logical, isn't it?

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.

According to today's Fairbanks newspaper, the Iditarod is now scheduled to begin Monday, March 3, a day later than earlier reports.
