Iditarod 2010: "Aliy Cam" On The Trail Into Ruby

Even more than our "usual" videos, this one is a real "story within a story." It starts with the exhaustion -- almost delirium -- in Aliy's voice as she narrates the Team's approach to Ruby. The story builds to a thrilling -- almost frightening! -- climax as the team "turns into town" then resolves with a successful arrival. I may be exaggerating a bit, but if I am I doubt you'll think I'm doing it by very much.

One thing to keep in mind as you view this and future "Aliy Cam" videos: A tree wiped out the camera's sled mount, so Aliy has to shoot everything "hand held" from here on. When you've finished watching this video, you'll have even more appreciation -- perhaps even awe -- for Aliy's one-handed mushing skills!
