Pic of the old mining site: This is what was used in the 1800's. We figured there had to be gold here so we
stopped and hiked down. A little snow bridge
hung over the little stream so it was a little easier to get to the site. George and Dave got their pans out and George
was excited to get some color. We
thought we would definitely come back to this spot but the week just went by
too fast.
The
trip to Nome was a week long and I recommend it to everyone. I know a lot of women don’t like to rough it,
but I found it pretty comfy. I had a
sleeping bag, a wool blanket, stocking cap, turtle neck, gloves and boot
slippers and I was quite comfortable at nights.
We had the fire ready to light first thing in the morning. Getting up at 5 am to go to the outhouse was
a little different but not so bad and the adventures definitely outweighed the
unpleasantries.
