New Nome Video

Postby golden optimist » Fri Oct 08, 2010 11:29 am

You may have seen the tent fever video of Dave and I at Nome. This is "the rest of the story". We did get to do a little prospecting in spite of the weather and this shows that part of the trip. A little background on the trip, Dave flew from Colorado to Nome and I left Mark's place near Manley Hot Springs and flew to Nome from Fairbanks and met Dave at the airport in Nome..

It's 80meg and about 8 minutes in length.

The next episode will be down the road a ways. I have to find the tape. It's mixed in with about 50 others and not labeled.

It didn't take too long before I did start calling it a great trip. I see you just joined. Welcome! Take a look at the other video of the trip at http://golddredgervideo.com/alaska2008/tentfever.wmv It's a lot more revealing.

Leonard,

How much crap were you able to bring, and how much did you rent. The dredge has to be local.

We didn't have a dredge. We just had a small sluice. We bought 2 buckets and a shovel locally. Everything else we brought with us. I had about 125 pounds of luggage and Dave had around 100 pounds. I bought a tent and sleeping bag at Fairbanks. The tent was a $38.00 wal-mart special. It worked very well and I left it at Mark's, 150 miles notrh of Fairbanks.
