The restaurant Peace on Earth has been delivering pizzas to the Unalakleet checkpoint for 25 years. They get Iditarod orders from all over the world — even Abu Dhabi.

March 14, 2022

This year, the two met again in Hanson’s hometown of Unalakleet, as Kaiser mushed into the coastal Iñupiat community Sunday afternoon.“Yeah,” Hanson said. “I was the one that flew you home from McGrath.”This year, instead of taking Kaiser home, Hanson greeted the mushers with a couple warm pizzas. Iditarod musher Chad Stoddard takes his first bite of pizza that his mom ordered for him from Washington state.

Stoddard was last year’s Iditarod Rookie of the Year. But the trail was a shortened out-and-back course that didn’t go through many rural communities because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mushers here said they’re exhausted at this point in the race, with just 260 miles or so to go, but they pulled together enough focus and energy to fix sleds, care for their dogs and decide if anyone had to go home.

tonichelleak Have you ever had their pizza? Any good? (BTW, reindeer sausage is about $50/lb because it’s shipped from…Alaska).

It it can't be sold, it's must be reclaimed. It is also an injustice that the state is not exploring means to move the taxpayer's investments into renewable power sources - 900 gallons of Diesel doesn't go as far as it used to at today's prices.
