Yes, the airline managed to lose David’s bag on the direct flight from Anchorage to McGrath yesterday. This is hardly a 747, so it seems like there’s not room in the plane for anything to get lost. But David was left without his cold weather gear. He has a hilarious post about it on APRN’s Iditarod website. [...] [...] David had another important pick-up at the airport: his missing luggage.

There is always a lot written about the mushers' experience, but I'm just as interested--if not more so--in what it is like for the support people and the media covering the race. Your perspective as a cheechako is great! Keep up the good work and stay warm. I do hope your luggage shows up. How does luggage get lost between Anchorage and McGrath anyway? Karen in Anchorage David,
