Balto+Memorial

=Balto Memorial= Colton K __**History-**__**The Balto Memorial was created because of Balto's great achievement. There was a very deadly disease going around in Nome,Alaska and the medicine could not be received by an airplane because of the bitter weather. The only alternate method was to go by dog sled. Balto started out in Anchorage, nearly 1000 miles away. The dogs and their musher were faced with 40 degrees below zero and winds that were strong enough to knock over the sled. Sixty days later they arrived in Nome. They sent out on their journey in January 1925 and arrived in Anchorage on February 2, 1925.**
