Think the Iron Dog is tough?

A snowmachine trip to benefit diabetes research, being billed as the "Iditarod of Snowmobiling," is getting set to kick off on February 15. The 72 riders entered in the 2010 "MichCanSka" will travel over 4,000 miles from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., to Tok, Alaska, over the course of 20 days.
