Many Hands Make A Ceremonial Start Work
While driving around Anchorage after my Educator's Conference planning my strategy for the next day, I noticed roads blocked and television crews setting up. I parked in the first spot I thought I wouldn't be towed and started taking photos of the workers. There was an official looking man dressed warmly looking important so I started asking about tomorrow's event. It turns out he is in charge of the Anchorage portion of the race. He gave me a map of the downtown route and suggested the best viewing opportunities. The way everyone pulls together to make this event happen is incredible. Tonight at 9:00 they start trucking in the snow they saved for the downtown route. I guess they save only the "cleanest" snow!
