On the beaches of Nome 2009


We followed everyone down to the shore like so many gold miners did years ago in the 1800 gold rush.  There weren’t quite as many as there were back then but we could only imagine what it was like camping and living out in the wild back then with only crude means.  We, on the other hand, were staying in “hooches”.  No electricity and a wood burning stove for heat but we felt luckier than those poor old miners.  With an outhouse, hot shower facilities and a chow hall, those old miners would have thought it was the Ritz Carlton.
