	Iditarod Race Information and Updates--Ultimate Iditarod
		Iditarod is believed to come from an Athabaskan Indian word pronounced "Hi-dit-a-rod." There are many translations for this word, but the most widely accepted meaning is "a distant or far off place." The Iditarod River was the site of one of the last major gold strikes in Alaska in the early 20th century.
		The town of Iditarod was built on the banks of this river, and the trails leading to Iditarod from Seward (on the south central coast) and Nome (on the west coast) were collectively known as the Iditarod Trail.
		This is McGrath on the shore of the Kuskokwim River.

		Most of the songs are very short (under three minutes, with several clocking in under two), suggesting the Iditarod are here to speak/sing their piece and get on with it, a refreshing outlook in today's tediously drawn out experimental world.
		As to the bonus material, "Move" is a pretty acoustic guitar instrumental and "Sylvia Jean," not one of Carin's better vocal performances, nevertheless features interesting instrumentation.
		Two nice additions are the live version of "Boat" and the original studio version of "Garden," giving the listener an excellent opportunity to compare notes and fully appreciate how the Iditarod transform their compositions for the live setting.

		In 1925, part of the Iditarod Trail became a life saving highway for epidemic-stricken Nome.
		Iditarod means clear water and was named by the Shageluk Indians for the Iditarod River.
		By the way, I'm not alone in feeling the Iditarod is not where the real sport is. Although I can't find any links right now, I've both read and heard that many mushers prefer smaller, lesser-known races where there are no TV cameras.
