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