Alaska Residential Movers Are the Team You’ll Want Leading the Way
The Alaskan wilderness is often represented by larger than life, rugged and adventurous icons. There is perhaps nothing more iconic as a representation of life in Alaska than dog mushing. Mushing, which has become a worldwide sport, is the official state sport of Alaska. Mushing and sled dogs gained national fame in the 1920s when an outbreak of diphtheria in Nome, Alaska required the use of sled teams to transport a much-needed antitoxin from Anchorage, where it was kept, into Nome during an extreme blizzard. A series of mushers and their teams were used to relay the life-saving serum, which eventually reached Nome in the possession of Gunnar Kaasen, whose lead dog, Balto, has since been memorialized as the hero of the trail. When you make your next move into or within Alaska, you’ll need a dedicated team of professional Alaska movers by your side. The hardworking movers at American Van Lines will gladly take the lead and guide you safely home.
Residential Moving Can Feel like a Blind Run Across the Tundra – But Not with Us!
The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was first opened to recreational and competitive sled teams in 1973. The annual race is designed both to commemorate that historic run from Anchorage to Nome and to test the skills and endurance of today’s finest sled teams. Beginning on the first Saturday in March, teams race for an average of nine to 15 days through some of the harshest weather conditions known to man – or dog. The trail winds across tundra, through forests and along the shore of the Bering Sea, sometimes in intense blizzards and unbelievably cold temperatures. The race is the state’s single most popular sporting event, so mushers and their dogs quickly become local celebrities. You’ll have the chance to meet and shake the paws of all of these incredible athletes when you relocate to this snowy state with help from the qualified Alaska movers from American Van Lines!
