Near the end of every winter, Alaska hosts its most cherished event: the Iditarod. This grueling, 1,049 mile dog sled race has become an iconic event in the Alaskan calendar.
If you’ve never had a chance to see the a dog sled race, head up to Anchorage on the first Saturday of March to cheer on the mushers as they embark on their incredible journey. For dog lovers, there’s nothing more exciting than seeing a trained team of Husky dogs working together as one as they race across the tundra.

Скалистые горы, много горных баз отдых, смена времен года, хорошая экономика штата, много солнце-дней в году. Чего еще забыл?
А какие есть негативные моменты? Отпишите, интересуюсь.

В техасе тэкила очень дешевая, боюсь сопьюсь, як цуцык.
Тут так бухают, что кактусы гнутся. Но тепло и уютно.
