Be forewarned, if you click on the movie icon to see the movie, you will be downloading an 1.5m audio file. If you're on 56K dialup, it could take several minutes to get it.

Betty Walden, Idita-rider, is in the basket. Notice his US Flag. I tried to get Betty's attention, but she didn't hear me.

It's easy to see her Idita-rider, but I don't know who it is. Folks bid to ride in the sled on day 1, and the money helps finance the Iditarod.
