Martin & Kathy, I have a few more questions..
--What other teams surprised (and impressed) you the most on the Iditarod and/or the Yukon Quest?
--Did you ever have any other career aspirations besides mushing?
--How did you and Kathy meet?
Thanks!!

Taz reminded me of another comment I wanted to make, absolutely loved your whistled rendition of "What A Wonderful World" whistled to your dogs! I think it was on ADN's website! So great!
I found the link, here it i...! Scroll wayyyy down to the bottom, it is the last one on that page!

Do you have a whole repertoire of songs to whistle to them?

1. What would you change about the Iditarod trail if you were king for a day (not talking about being Jeff... )?
2. Is 16 dogs a maximum of dogs to use in a Iditarod team? Would you like to use 20? Is it possible to use 30?
3. What is your view on the different sleds used in racing? Positive and negative sides?
4. Do you guys do any hiking with your dogs during the summer? Any neat rivers you would recomend for padling?
5. Kathy: Is there anything YOU would like to change about the Iditarod?
Now, for a special request... I notice you have a good singing voice and that you like music. Would you join me for a jamming session in Takotna or any other cp if I ever get to go to Alaska during the race (I'm norwegian and I play the guitar )?
Thank you so much for being here, both!

Just wanted to say that I have been following the Iditarod faithfully for about 8 years now and have been a fan of yours ever since the beginning. Thanks for being such a great role model and musher.

My husband's mother is from Rorschach on the Boden Sea, and her father was a boat builder there. My husband lived in Switzerland for a couple of years when he was a teenager - about 1975.
