2017 Iron Butt Rally North American Safari

The 2017 Iron Butt Rally (IBR) is designed to lead you on a photo safari of North America’s iconic animals, both real and imagined. Armed with only your camera and motorcycle, you will roam the wilds in search of these elusive creatures. Fortunately, all of the target creatures are sedentary and quite unlikely to run onto the road. In this catalog, you will find data on different beasts to hunt. Your goal is to capture a photo and escape before they turn on you.

The animals in the rally book are divided into five categories for your sorting enjoyment: Air These majestic birds and insects capture our imagination with their ability to soar above it all and see the world from a different perspective. Land From iconic images of native bison to fearsome predators to pets, land animals are symbols of nature, strength, and companionship. Water Creatures of ocean, lake, river, and stream, these animals provide food, sport, and in some cases provoke visceral fear. Prehistoric Eons ago, giants roamed these lands. You can still find their remnants today if you know where to look. Mythical Born of our imagination, whimsy, or a need to explain the unknown, these creatures popped up throughout history. Search out representations of those fanciful ideas.

This keepsake booklet identifies each of the 328 different creature bonuses available on your safari and provides specific directions to document each bonus. Bonus codes are listed alphabetically. Points and leg-specific instructions will be in the Leg Bonus Packs.

Enjoy the adventure!

LDF The Shep Memorial Front St Fort Benton, MT 47.8166, -110.6679 24 Hours Take a photo of the statue of Shep in downtown Ft. Benton.

The story of Old Shep is a powerful one for any dog lover. In the summer of 1936, a sheep herder fell ill and headed to Fort Benton for treatment. His dog, Shep, came along. When the herder died a few days later, his body was crated and sent back east to relatives. Shep followed the box to the Fort Benton train depot, and watched as his master was put on board and taken away. He followed the train a short way, then came back to the station. For the next five and a half years, Shep maintained a vigil at the station, greeting the four trains that arrived each day, waiting for his master to return. Eventually, tragedy struck. On January 12, 1942, an arthritic and deaf Shep failed to hear the 10:17, then slipped on an icy rail trying to get away. Shep's obituary was carried by the major wire services, and his funeral two days later was attended by hundreds. Shep is buried on a bluff above town.
