Im sharing this link because Im curious about the last paragraph: Iditarod champion Dean Osmar is excited for the race and appreciative of its historical connection to mining. Osmar said the Iditarod trail was first used for transportation, to transport the gold from the mine fields and then to be shipped and sold in the lower forty-eight. It was a big reason the trail was opened up in the early 1900s. No recorded robbery attempts were made on the gold train dog sleds. I thought there were several rather notorious attempts on the Iditarod gold trains?
