14 Photos of My Life Right Now (and Yes, that’s Me with All the Kids on the Airplane!)

Tripp and his papa before the Iron Dog race! 2,200 miles across Alaska in a week on a snowmobile! Crazy to think about – that’s half way from Texas to Alaska!! My dad has run the race for decades, and might be one of the only “grandpas doing it” #gettingold
As Kevin Scholla reported on SarahPalin.com, “Todd Palin’s continued participation in this iconic race is something that was put in jeopardy less than two years ago. Palin suffered severe injuries in a serious snowmachine crash in March of 2016. Amazingly, he recovered enough to get right back on his snowmachine for last year’s race and now again in 2018. Palin is Alaska tough, just like the Iron Dog race itself.
To reach that finish line, teams will tackle weather conditions and repair shocks and engines. It’s a different adventure from checkpoint to checkpoint. But, Palin’s been here before. He knows what it takes to not only finish, but to win this challenging ordeal. So how do you tame this dog? ‘You just have to have a clean run and you have to be steady,’ Palin said. ‘Everything has to click.’ The 2018 Iron Dog finishes in Fairbanks on February 24th. We’ll find out then what team was able to click this time around.”
