Description
Ruby - Iditarod checkpoint #12
Population 187 -- Gold was discovered here in 1907, but no town was established until 1911 when additional gold deposits were discovered on Long Creek, causing a rush of prospectors to the area. Ruby was home for many of the mushers who carried mail for the Northern Commercial Company from Tanana to Ruby. The trip took four days and paid $5.00 a day. Dog team mail ended here in 1931. The checkpoint is in town, by the community hall.
Ruby Airport is one of 24 airstrips and airports on the Iditarod Trail that runs from Anchorage to Nome. The Iditarod Airforce is a group of pilots who volunteer their time and planes to service the 24 race checkpoints. Their missions include delivering food for the teams, picking up injured sled dogs, and many other logistical services for the volunteers who manage the checkpoints.
To learn more about the Iditarod, it's airports, and the race itself, go to the Iditarod.com website.

Rubyの町に多くの家がありました。飛行場内に事務所があると勘違いしていました。
どうもすみませんでした。
There were many houses in the town of Ruby. I misunderstood that there was an office in the airport.
I'm sorry.
