I love my Nome...

On July 7, 2012 in Nome, Alaska the sun rise was at 4:47am and and the sun set the next day at 1:24am. The sun woke me up at 5:30am and I went out side to take pictures...

 

 A view of the port of Nome from Anvil Mountain.

 The Kigluaik mountains.

 The White Alice's on Anvil mountain.  Used during WWII for communication purposes just incase the Russian's or Japanese attacked us (they didn't)

 Beautiul sun rise

 wild Musk ox on the side of the road

 My son Reese wanted to go on a 4-wheeler ride... we found a trail and followed it.

 Running away from the mosquitos

 An old power pole laying in the tundra with Ceramic insulators.  I wonder how old they are?

 Our goofy kids enjoying the sun

It was a great day and the temp got up to 69 degrees, bought the kids some ice cream, met up with some mining friends at the beach who made made us some awesome tacos for dinner at 9:30pm, told stories, laughed, and was serenaded by two talented guitar singing players Dillon Finn and Ian Foster.  Went home and to bed at 12:00am  and woke at 5:45am by the sun the start of another beautiful day in Nome, Alaska.  I think I'm gonna go fishin'...

Discovery Channel's Bering Sea Gold

The show aired Friday January 27, 2012 at 9pm in Nome, Alaska.  I thought it was AWESOME!  Though I wish Ian Foster from Sluicey had more air time... but it was only the first episode.  We waited a long time for this to air.  I invited some friends over and had a little mini premiere party.  This is what I made...

 

Yeah, I'm a little fan crazy.  I had chocolate gold nuggets that I passed out as party favors.  The water bottles were easy to make and I liked them so much that I made even more...

Hey how that State Trooper guy from the National Geographic show get in there?

Actually he's a friend of ours and was a little jealous that this show was getting a lot of attention... so I threw him in there to make him feel loved.

And then Ian Foster made a guest appearance at my premiere party...

 

Okay okay, so it was Ian Foster's head stuck on top of Taylor Lautner's cardboard body.  Most of the crews in the show weren't even in Nome during the premiere *sniffles.

I thought the first episode was great and cant wait to see more.

So you're probably wondering which water bottle did I choose.   I chose Emily Reidel of course! 

Yay Emily!

I found some great pictures of the cast at the website http://www.poptower.com/bering-sea-gold-cast.htm
