After we left Iditarod Headquarters, we went to Vern Halter's Dream a Dream Dog Kennel. He gave us an amazing talk about the sled he built for musher Cindy Abbott. He showed all the modifications he made for the sled. He also had all of his drop backs there. They were labeled for each checkpoint with all the food for the musher, dogs, and other supplies such as hay for the dogs to lay on. We also got to meet Cindy briefly before she headed out to start getting ready for the Iditarod. Of course, we got play time with the dogs before we left.
