Chief in “Unfinished Business”

Gumshoes, Carmen Sandiego and her notorious noxious ne'er-do-wells have nabbed again. This time, they've dogged Alaska. The famed Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race named the ghost town of Iditarod has been run every year since 1973. The route runs more than a thousand miles between Anchorage and Nome. It started because of a 1925 diphtheria epidemic. Dog-sled drivers called mushers ran medicine to remote northern parts of Alaska. The epidemic ended, but the race lived on. Every March, several dozen ushers meat for what may be the most grueling competitive event. They drive their specially trained dog reams for nearly three weeks, sleeping as little as possible, conserving body heat and fighting blizzards, thin ice, and charging moose. In 1990, four-time winner Susan Butcher set a record for the run: 11 days, one hour, and 53 minutes. But if you thinking about entering the competition this year, you can leave your huskies at home, because last night, by the light of the arctic moon, Wonder Rat swiped all the sleds and dog teams. That annoying little vermin will do anything to promote himself. Now he wants to have his own rat race. Gumshoes, your mission is to trap that rat, get the sleds back on track, and then catch crime queen Carmen Sandiego.
